title: An experimental model examining the role of magnesium in the therapy of acute myocardial infarction.
abstract: In conclusion, considering the results from our model, magnesium infusion is effective as adjunct therapy to enhance myocardial salvage in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. However, its effectiveness may be limited to a subset of patients whose magnesium therapy can be started early and combined with early reperfusion therapy.
