Microvascular obstruction is a common repercussion of percutaneous coronary intervention for distal microembolization, ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation, which increases post-myocardial infarction heart failure and mortality. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble cavitation (UTMC) may resolve microvascular obstruction while activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and increasing endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Nitrite, a cardioprotective agent, offers an ad ...[more]
