C-reactive protein and complement depositions in human infarcted myocardium are more extensive in patients with reinfarction or upon treatment with reperfusion

Background  Impaired perfusion of the heart induces a local inflammatory response, which involves deposition of C‐reactive protein and complement activation products C3d and C5b‐9. We investigated whether reperfusion or reinfarction enhances these phenomena in humans. Materials and methods  Depositi...
