Hypothermia for Cardioprotection in Patients with St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Do Not Give It the Cold Shoulder Yet!

Abstract: The timely revascularization of an occluded coronary artery is the cornerstone of treatment in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). As essential as this treatment is, it can also cause additional damage to cardiomyocytes that were still viable before reperfusion, increasing infarct size. This has been termed “myocardial reperfusion injury”. To date, there is still no effective treatment for myocardial reperfusion injury in patients with STEMI. While numerous attempts have been made to over… Show more

“…Respective clinical trials are either on their way or in the stage of planning. Theoretically, it is appealing to think about combining these strategies, for example, by infusing SSO 2 through cooled blood providing additive intracoronary hypothermia [ 20 ] or applying it while the LV is unloaded by a microaxilar flow-pump that reduces microvascular resistance and might thereby improve plasma flow and oxygen diffusion [ 50 ].…”

“…As the diffusion through plasma appears to be a central issue for successful prevention of myocardial injury, it also provides a pathophysiological rational why SSO 2 in contrast to LV unloading or hypothermia either requires or benefits from revascularisation prior to application. On the other hand, this provides the clinical advantage of not delaying primary PCI compared to the other methods [ 20 , 22 ].…”

“…While a pilot trial rapidly applying systemic hypothermia to reduce infarct size did not provide positive conclusive results [ 25 ], selective intracoronary cooling seems to be a safe and promising approach [ 26 ]. In this issue, El Farissi et al discuss the role of intraprocedural hypothermia during reperfusion [ 27 ]. The other technique aiming to mitigate reperfusion injury is intracoronary application of super-saturated oxygen, which allows for diffusion of dissolved oxygen into the periphery of the ischaemic area and reduces microvascular obstruction by preventing endothelial cell edema [ 28 ].…”
