Abstract
N-acetylcysteine is known in a number of medical specialties and its ability to decrease the impact of reperfusion injury in acute myocardial infarction has boosted its use in cardiology over the past decades. N-acetylcysteine has a far-reaching range of effects since it functions as a protective agent against oxygen radicals through sulfhydryl groups in important regions of the cell membrane that interfere and affect endothelial functioning and complex adhesion processes as side effects; as well as other phenomena of the extravascular compartment. These processes are closely related to the cardiovascular system.
