Abstract Reperfusion injury following acute myocardial infarction is associated with significant morbidity. Activation of neuronal or non-neuronal cholinergic pathways in the heart has been shown to reduce ischemic injury, and this effect has been attributed primarily to muscarinic acetylcholine rec...
