Abstract
Fondaparinux (FDX) was demonstrated to be cardioprotective in a rat model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion. In this model, FDX reduced infarct size after 2h of reperfusion, involving the activation of the survivor activating factor enhancement (SAFE) pathway as early as 30min post-reperfusion. Our aim was to study if this cardioprotection could be explained by anti-inflammatory mechanisms and a protective effect on vessels.
