Objectives:To evaluate current evidence about cardioprotection of ischemic postconditioning(IPC) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoingprimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).and Provide evidence for clinicalchoice.Methods:Access to PubMed Embase,MEDLINE, Cochrane databases, Wanfang, CNKI, CBM,from January2005to January2012for finding relevant studies abou ischaemicPost-conditioning, in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction receivingPPCI. A meta-analysis of eligible studies was assessed by Review Manager5.1.Results:Ten randomized controlled studies met inclusion criteria.IPC Compared to thecontrol, observed outcomes such as peak creatine kinase WMD:469.23.08Units,CI(-622.50,-315.96()P<0.05),peak creatine kinasemyo-cardial band:WMD:64.71IU,CI(-91.34,-38.07)(P<0.05),The Left Ventricular Ejection Fractions,LVEF after7days:;WMD:4.47%CI(1.27,7.67),(P=0.006)and after3monthsWMD:5.85%CI(2.58,9.12),Z=3.51,(P=0.0005)Conclusions:Although current evidence shows that IPC provides cardioprotection to patientsundergoing primary PCI, larger adequately powered studies should be undertaken toconfirm its benefit. |
