Reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction has been shown to reduce mortality, yet it may also have deleterious effects, including myocardial necrosis and no-reflow. Postconditioning is known measure for cardioprotection from reperfusion injury in animal model. Postconditioning is known measure for cardioprotection from reperfusion injury in animal model and human studies have shown inconsistent results.
