Abstract

I read with great interest the article by Turschner et al. 1 describing the echocardiographic observation of experimentally induced myocardial infarction and subsequent reperfusion in the pig model. They have demonstrated an increase in regional wall thickness in the reperfused infarct zone due to ‘oedema associated with reperfusion injury’. The phenomenon of ‘reperfusion injury’ (first described by Tennant and Wiggers2) comes entirely from experimental laboratories; there are a number of experimental observations showing the deleter-ious effects of reperfusion leading to further progression of already existing ischaemic damage. Data from human studies are, however, in discrepancy with …
