These markers should not yet guide STEMI decisions; hypothesis-generating for their role in spontaneous recanalization.
Are specific prothrombotic biomarkers associated with early spontaneous coronary recanalization in patients with STEMI?
Persistent occlusion of the infarct-related artery in STEMI is associated with higher thrombin and plasmin production markers (sGPV and PAP) but not platelet activation markers.
Lanoy et al. (2007) studied this question.
