The myocardial injury that occurs following a period of ischaemia and reperfusion is well recognised and the underlying mechanisms have been extensively investigated in healthy myocardial tissues; however, the influence of the risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases on ischaemia/reperfusion injury remains unclear. In this article, the present knowledge on how clinical pathologies such as diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure may influence ischaemia/reperfusion injury of the heart and the potential mechanisms involved are reviewed.

KEYWORDS Reperfusion injury; Diabetes; Hypercholesterolaemia; Hypertension; Hypertrophy; Heart failure

Time for primary review 15 days
