Why the study?
Do plasma nuclear and mitochondrial DNA levels change after PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Do plasma nuclear and mitochondrial DNA levels change after PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Plasma nuclear and mtDNA levels may serve as novel biomarkers for AMI, as they are elevated during the event and normalize post-PCI.
Both plasma nuclear and mtDNA levels are elevated in AMI patients, but return to normal levels immediately after PCI, suggesting that they are potentially novel biomarkers for AMI.
