Особенности формирования эндотелиальной дисфункции при инфаркте миокарда

The paper describes endothelial dysfunction as the basic pathogenetic factor in development of myocardial infarction (MI). We assessed expression of enzyme CD38 on peripheral blood neutrophiles in patients with MI in order to elucidate its role in progression of endothelial dysfunction. We found elevation of CD38 expression related to development of clinical manifestations and signs of endothelial dysfunction in the patients.
