This animal and in vitro study evaluated nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as a nonchemical method to activate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for cardioprotection. In rabbits undergoing brief coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion, PRP injection into ischemic myocardium was associated with reduced infarct…
