The restoration of blood flow to an organ or to tissue. After a heart attack, an immediate goal is to quickly open blocked arteries and reperfuse the heart muscles. Early reperfusion minimizes the extent of heart muscle damage and preserves the pumping function of the heart.
MedicineDuring the course of an experiment or survey, replication is the determination of a value more than once, so as to obtain a better estimation of the variation. Replication should be distinguished from repetition by the fact that replication of an experiment denotes repeated determinations carried out, as far as possible, at one place and one period of time. The successive determinations, including the first, are called replicates (ISO, 1977).
