Description

COOL AMI EU pilot was a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess feasibility and safety of rapid intravascular therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in conscious patients with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI (PPCI). We report the effect of hypothermia upon microvascular obstruction (MVO).
