[Peripheral blood neutrophil activation and the extent of myocardial infarction].

Abstract

The activation of polymorphonuclear granulocytes between 2 and 5 hours from the beginning of the pain was examined in patients with myocardial infarction. The efficient neutrophils activated in the first day of illness, take part in recanalization of coronary vessels, thus limiting the extent of myocardial infarction.
