Thromboinflammation is associated with clinical outcome after ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Platelets are crucial in thrombus formation during ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In addition, they also play an important role in postischemic thromboinflammation, which is determined by the interplay between activated platelets and neutrophils. The latter form neutrophil extracellular traps, which are detectable in plasma as citrullinated histone H3-deoxyribonucleic acid-DNA complexes. Prediction of the risk of recurrent events is important in precision medicine. Therefore, we investigated whether circulating thromboinflammatory markers predict clinical outcome after STEMI. We performed a prospective, multicentric, observational, all-comer study of patients with STEMI (n = 361). Thromboinflammation, measured as H3Cit-DNA complexes, was assessed on day 1 afte
