Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in
US. Timely re-circulation has greatly decreased 30-day
in-hospital death, and increased survival rate during
the acute phase of myocardium infarction (MI). However,
even with successful blood-flow restoration, ischemia
reperfusion injury (IRI) can result in greater tissue
damage and adverse remodeling. The rate of developing
post-MI heart failure increases as the acute mortality
decreases. Long-term post-MI ventricular remodeling and
the consequent potential heart failure remains a
challenge. We report here that Intralipid can preserve
heart function after IRI can reduce long-term post-MI
ventricular remodeling.
