<unk>  is thought to arise by two mechanisms: #a calcium-dependent mechanism - activation of the contractile machinery of the cell via its usual mechanism, calcium, which is in excess due to ischemia. #a calcium-independent mechanism, as seen in rigor mortis - activation of the contractile machinery in the setting of low ATP. Reperfusion associated cell death has been modulated (reduced) in animal studies and is an area of active research, which holds the potential to significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease.
