Are microparticle concentrations early after acute myocardial infarction associated with future cardiovascular events?
P-selectin expressing platelet microparticles (CD62P+MPs) measured early after acute MI may serve as a promising biomarker for predicting future cardiovascular events.
Christersson et al. (2017) studied this question.
