MeSH Heading: Myocardial Reperfusion
Tree Number(s): E04.100.700.600; E05.680.730.600
Unique ID: D015425
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015425
Annotation: note category: a technique; /‌adv eff permitted but consider also MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY
Scope Note: Generally, restoration of blood supply to heart tissue which is ischemic due to decrease in normal blood supply. The decrease may result from any source including atherosclerotic obstruction, narrowing of the artery, or surgical clamping. Reperfusion can be induced to treat ischemia. Methods include chemical dissolution of an occluding thrombus, administration of vasodilator drugs, angioplasty, catheterization, and artery bypass graft surgery. However, it is thought that reperfusion can itself further damage the ischemic tissue, causing MYOCARDIAL REPERFUSION INJURY.
