The present report describes outcomes of randomized selective intracoronary aqueous
oxygen versus standard care in patients who had acute anterior wall myocardial infarction
within 6 hours of onset (n = 50). Left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function were
assessed by contrast echocardiography at baseline and 1 month. It is demonstrated
that aqueous oxygen prevents LV remodeling and preserves LV ejection fraction.
