Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether brief periods of ischemia performed just at the time of reperfusion -postconditioning- can reduce coronary endothelial dysfunction and infarct size in humans
Detailed Description: Desobstruction of the culprit artery after acute myocardial infarction allows to reduce the consequences of prolonged ischemia. However, it is now clearly established that reperfusion induces by itself severe myocardial injuries. Postconditioning has been described as an adaptive response triggered by a brief ischemia applied after a prolonged coronary occlusion. Several teams have reported that ischemia/reperfusion cycles allow to reduce infarct size in experimental models.

Different pathophysiological processes have been proposed to explain the beneficial effect of postconditioning. It has been reported that postconditioning reduces the inflammatory response, and activates cardioprotective signaling pathways (Akt, eNOS, p70S6K). In addition, an improvement of the endothelial function has been reported.

This controlled trial aim to study the potential beneficial effect of postconditioning in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Forty six patients will be included in the study and the culprit artery will be reoccluded three times for 1 minutes after desobstruction in one of the both groups after randomization of the patients.

The evaluation will be focused on the comparison of the coronary reserve after intracoronary adenosine injection. In addition, additional parameters will be used to study the effect of postconditioning on post-ischemic endothelial dysfunction: frequencies of low reflow and slow reflow situation, myocardial blush and regression of ST elevation. The effect of postconditioning on the left ventricular systolic function will be studied by Doppler tissue imaging and RMN.
