There is no question that early reperfusion enhances left ventricular function and survival in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This trial, however, set out to answer the question of whether or not late reperfusion would reduce by 25% the occurrence of a composite endpoint of death, reinfarction, or heart failure (NYHA class IV).</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume></record></records></xml>
