Research Abstract |
We have developed a new approach named hibernation therapy(HT) for complete revascularization in the early stage of STEMI using aβ-blocker(landiolol) and an Impella [○! R] left ventricular assist device, and verified the effect of this therapy in a swine model. HT at the early stage in STEMI stabilized the hemodynamic conditions and reduced infarct size and complications in a swine model. These results suggest that HT can improve the prognosis of patients with STEMI.
