dc.description.abstractDespite urgent myocardial reperfusion with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), morbidity and mortality remain substantial in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction. Adjuvant therapeutic strategies targeting inflammation might limit infarct size and improve outcomes. The overall aim of this thesis was to assess the effect of anti-inflammatory strategy of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibition as an adjuvant therapy to improve myocardial salvage and limit irreversible myocardial injury in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This investigator-initiated phase 2, randomized-controlled trial of 199 first-time STEMI patients was conducted at three high-volume PCI-centers in Norway. Our results show that IL-6 receptor inhibition improves myocardial salvage in STEMI patients presenting within 6 hours from symptom onset of PCI. IL-6 receptor inhibition in acute myocardial infarction is a promising anti-inflammatory target to limit infarct size and might be further investigated in larger endpoint-driven clinical trials.en_US
