THE POSSIBILITY of restoring an adequate supply of blood to the ischemic myocardium has been considerably increased during the past few years, partly because of the development of potent, nontoxic thrombolytic agents' and in part because of improved surgical and angioplastic techniques. However, to what extent, and precisely when, such interventions are beneficial is a matter for debate, since under certain conditions reperfusion appears to jeopardize potentially salvageable myocardium.2 Hearse and Nayler and their colleagues` were largely responsible for popularizing the concept of "reperfusion injury" with respect to the heart and during the past decade the occurrence of this phenomenon has been widely investigated, particularly in experiments in which isolated hearts have been reperfused after prolonged periods of normothermic global ischemia. Under these conditions in vitro the quantification of any additional injury associated with reperfusion is relatively easy. The washout of intracellular enzymes and of other macromolecules,2 gross changes in ultrastructure, sustained increases in end-diastolic resting tension, increases in tissue water and calcium, and a failure to exclude extracellular markers and dyes are only a few of the indexes that have been used.4'5 By contrast, the detection and quantification of damage associated with postischemic reperfusion under conditions in vivo is relatively difficult, particularly if the end point involves the measurement of infarct size. Many factors have to be taken into account, including the amount of collateral flow that is present, accompanying hemodynamic changes in the peripheral circulation, and even the precise location and size of the infarct. Even if all of these factors are controlled an
