Novel adjunctive treatments of myocardial infarction

Figure 1 Overview of interventional strategies for achieving cardioprotection as adjunct to thrombolysis or primary percutaneous coronary intervention, see text for details.

Figure 2 Effect of remote ischemic conditioning on long-term clinical outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Cumulative incidence (%). A: Of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) by year since randomization (per-protocol analysis). P = 0.010; B: Of all-cause mortality by year since randomization (per-protocol analysis). P = 0.019; C: Of cardiac mortality (%) by year since randomization (per-protocol analysis). P = 0.248; D: Of non-cardiac mortality (%) by year since randomization (per-protocol analysis). P = 0.045. Modified from Sloth et al[89]. Eur Heart J (2014) 35: 168-175. pPCI: Primary percutaneous interven- tion; RIC: Remote ischemic conditioning.
