The cycloxygenase 2 (COX-2) story: it's time to explain, not inflame.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Brief periods of reocclusion (postconditioning) during early reperfusion reduce myocardial infarct size. Whether postconditioning has an effect on lethal ventricular arrhythmias independent of infarction in an in-vivo regional ischemia model is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine if postcondi...
