Possible associations with myocardial IR-injury, including myocardial salvage and ischaemic postconditioning, adverse remodelling and final infarct size assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) were explored in the Postconditioning in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (POSTEMI) study, while studying associations between circulating CCN2 levels and clinical outcome was the main objective of the Biobanking in Acute Myocardial Infarction (BAMI) study. This evidence concerns the gene CCN2 and myocardial infarction.
