Effect of Thrombolysis on Circulating Microparticles in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Figure 5

Effects of MPs from STEMI patients with or without thrombolysis on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Compared with those in the controls, MPs from CCS patients and STEMI patients before thrombolysis (pre-T) impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. MPs from STEMI patients 2 hours after thrombolysis (post-T) further impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. The data are ; vs. control; # vs. CCS; λ vs. pre-T, .
