Glucose associated NETosis in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: an observational study

Background Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have recently been identified as mediators in atherothrombosis. Although NETosis in general has been suggested to be glucose dependent, the transferability to patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unclear. We assessed whether the NETs markers double-stranded deoxyribonucleid acid (dsDNA) and myeloperoxidase-DNA (MPO-DNA) associated with plasma glucose and the...
