Microparticles (MP) are cell-derived fragments known to be increased in the blood of patients with acute coronary syndromes. We aimed to assess, in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the systemic and local (in the culprit coronary artery) levels of platelet-derived MP (PMP, CD42+CD31+) and endothelial-derived MP (EMP, CD42-CD31+) and their relation to indexes of microvascular obstruction (MVO).
