Apoptosis and Mobilization of Lymphocytes to Cardiac Tissue Is Associated with Myocardial Infarction in a Reperfused Porcine Model and Infarct Size in Post-PCI Patients

Association of CMR-derived infarct size with T cell count in STEMI patients 24 h post-PCI. (a) Example of CMR images from a patient with an anterior STEMI. (b) Association of 1-week CMR-derived infarct size with T cell count (cells/μl) in blood of STEMI patients at 24 h post-PCI. (c) Association of 6-month CMR-derived infarct size with T cell count (cells/μl) in blood of STEMI patients at 24 h post-PCI. (d) Association of 1-week CMR-derived infarct size with T cell subsets (cells/μl) in blood of STEMI patients at 24 h post-PCI. (e) Association of 6-month CMR-derived infarct size with T cell subsets (cells/μl) in blood of STEMI patients 24 h post-PCI. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. . PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; SD: standard deviation; STEMI: ST-segment myocardial infarction.
