Key result
Specific removal of C-reactive protein by apheresis reduced CRP levels by ~70% in a porcine model of acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does CRP apheresis reduce CRP levels in a porcine cardiac infarction model?
Does CRP apheresis reduce CRP levels in a porcine cardiac infarction model?
A porcine model of acute myocardial infarction demonstrates the feasibility of CRP apheresis to reduce CRP levels by ~70% and allows for CMR imaging of the infarct scar.

Feasible in porcine AMI; leaves open translation to human outcomes.
Slagman et al. (2010) studied Acute myocardial infarction. Specific removal of C-reactive protein by apheresis was evaluated on Reduction of CRP levels. Specific removal of C-reactive protein by apheresis reduced CRP levels by ~70% in a porcine model of acute myocardial infarction.
