Association of endothelial dysfunction and No-Reflow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Coronary no-reflow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is a predictor of poorer cardiovascular outcome. Both endothelial dysfunction and no-reflow involves abnormal vascular function and hemostasis. Our aim was to assess the association between endothelial dysfunction and no reflow during primary PCI.
