UpStreAm doxycycline in ST-eLeVation myocArdial infarction: targetinG infarct hEaling and ModulatIon (SALVAGE-MI trial)

Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc CarePublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Doxycycline prior to PPCI neither reduced IS acutely or at six months nor attenuated adverse LV remodelling.

Study context
