GARCIA PEREZ, Alicia; MORA VIERA, Leydi  y  ABREU REYES, David R.. N-acetylcysteine reduces myocardial injury progression in experimental models. CorSalud [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.2, pp.214-218.  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 2078-7170.

N-acetylcysteine is known in a number of medical specialties and its ability to decrease the impact of reperfusion injury in acute myocardial infarction has boosted its use in cardiology over the past decades. N-acetylcysteine has a far-reaching range of effects since it functions as a protective agent against oxygen radicals through sulfhydryl groups in important regions of the cell membrane that interfere and affect endothelial functioning and complex adhesion processes as side effects; as well as other phenomena of the extravascular compartment. These processes are closely related to the cardiovascular system.

Palabras clave : Myocardial injury; Reperfusion injury; Oxidative stress; N-acetylcysteine.
