Jim Hoffman: Could Targeting NETosis Reduce Long-Term Risk After STEMI?
Jim Hoffman, Independent Consultant, shared a post on LinkedIn about recent articles, adding:
“ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) plus COVID-19 patients had nearly 4 times higher death rates than pre-pandemic controls (45% vs 11%), Even STEMI hospital survivors faced lasting risk; the mortality gradient didn’t stop at discharge.
Persistent One-Year Mortality Gradient After STEMI and COVID-19: Long-Term Outcomes From the NACMI
STEMI patients, like LC PASC patients, have exacerbated ‘NETosis dysregulation.’
Many STEMI patients have been shown to have lower but still elevated NETs even after Percutaneous Cornary Intervention.
Keeping their NETs lower could likely help prevent recurrence and also improve microvascular blood circulation and tissue perfusion.
NETosis in Cardiovascular Disease: An Opportunity for Personalized Antithrombotic Treatments?
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in patients with STEMI.
Association with percutaneous coronary intervention and antithrombotic treatments.
A NET removal therapy that should be trialed before, during, and post-treatment for STEMI/thrombectomy and for LC PASC where persistent NETs are also elevated, contributing to hypermicroclotting and risk for larger thrombotic complications.”
