The article focuses on the cellular mechanisms through which sodium/hydrogen exchanger (NHE) inhibitors may preserve myocardial integrity and function during ischaemia and reperfusion. Increased sarcolemmal NHE activity, arising from the rapid normalisation of extracellular pH. During a prolonged period of ischaemia, NHE activity would be expected to be high soon after the onset of ischaemia. The rapid normalization of extracellular pH during early reperfusion would be expected to disinhibit the sarcolemmal NHE and lead to further injury.
