From the Paper:

"In patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), also affected by myocardial infarction or undergoing surgical procedures, the severity of the several complications that could develop is associated with acute ischemia reperfusion injury (Redmond et al., 2000, Van Tol and Hendricks, 2001). This makes it relevant to target an efficient potential treatment method in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury, with particular reference to patience with AIDS. Moderate consumption of ethanol is known to offer myocardial protective effects (Sacco et al, 1999). Furthermore, Miyamae, et al, 1997, suggest that regular ethanol consumption could also offer protection in ischemia reperfusion injury. "
