This editorial refers to "The sequential changes in myocardial thickness and thickening which occur during acute transmural infarction, infarct reperfusion and the resultant expression of reperfusion injury"1 by O. Turschner et al. on page 794.

In the early phase of acute myocardial infarction, timely reperfusion is a prerequisite to contain the extent of cellular and vascular injury. In the absence of reperfusion, severe ischaemia inevitably leads to myocardial necrosis involving all of the area at risk. Early reperfusion may prevent the death of ischaemic cardiomyocytes and is the therapeutic strategy of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
