About
The size of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is related to ischemia and injury induced by tissue reperfusion. These reperfusion's injuries can be reduced by injection of cyclosporin A (CsA) at the time of reperfusion. This post-conditioning reduces the final infarct size 20 to 40%. This has been demonstrated in STEMI patients non-complicated by cardiogenic shock. Early revascularization in the AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock improves short-term and long term survival by reducing the size of the myocardial infarction. The hypothesis of this study is that the administration of Cyclosporin A to these patients, in addition to mechanical reperfusion, is likely to reduce the severity of the multi-organ failure associated with the cardiogenic shock and improve clinical outcome.
