Adverse interaction between HDL and the mass of myocardial infarction

Background and aims Coronary reperfusion with HDL from healthy volunteers attenuates ischemia and reperfusion injury in animal models. In myocardial infarction (MI) patients, such an interaction is unclear. Hence, our first objective was to verify if there is interaction between HDL-C and MI mass in patients and the role of coronary reperfusion in the interaction. Furthermore, we investigated whether the effect in MI size of reperfusion with HDL...
