GW26-e4768 Improved Recovery After Myocardial Ischemic Infarction by Copper Supplementation

Depressed angiogenesis due to ischemic injury leads to myocardial infarction. Copper (Cu) is involved in angiogenesis and ischemia causes copper loss in the heart. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that Cu supplementation improves myocardial angiogenesis, leading to regression
