ALT Portrait of Keyur Vora, MD, in a white lab coat, smiling against a gray background, with a quote about the SHIELD-MI clinical trial to the right. Transcribed Text: “SHIELD-MI is the first clinical trial to show that a therapy delivered during the peri-reperfusion period can directly reduce intramyocardial hemorrhage while also limiting infarct size after STEMI. This is important because restoring blood flow with PCI is only the first step; severe microvascular and hemorrhagic injury can continue to damage the myocardium after the artery has been opened.” KEYUR VORA, MD LEAD AUTHOR AND CLINICAL INVESTIGATOR, SHIELD-MI SCHOOL OF MEDICINE MEDICAL IMAGING RESEARCH INSTITUTE Radiology and Imaging Sciences

Transcribed Text: "Through our cardiac magnetic resonance imaging research, we now understand the influence of infarct size and how microvascular injury leading to intramyocardial hemorrhage can render a 6-fold greater risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event — or MACE."

ALT An illustration shows a gloved hand holding a blood test tube labeled "Troponin I - test." On a table next to a test tube rack with three other test tubes, a checklist is displayed with "Troponin (Troponin I)" selected. Other options on the checklist include "Troponin (Troponin T)," "CK-MB," "Myoglobin," and "BNP / NT-proBNP." Red blood cells are scattered.
