New Therapy Could Preserve Vessel Function After Heart Attack
9/16/07
(www.americanheart.org)Scientists have identified the process that causes blood vessels to constrict during and after a heart attack. They've also demonstrated that delivering a vital molecule that is depleted during this process directly to those blood vessels can reverse damage and help restore blood flow. The medical researchers say these findings have the potential to improve outcomes for patients with acute coronary episodes related to ischemia, and to ameliorate the restriction of blood supply to the heart.
