Prevention of cardiac injury requires a deeper mechanistic understanding of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) episodes. Here, the authors find that the epigenetic modifier KDM3A plays a crucial role in myocardial I/R injury through its activation of the gene ETS1 and suggest boosting KDM3A expression could be a potential treatment strategy.
