Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• STEMI triggers a rapid systemic inflammatory response, with leukocytes peaking at admission and typically normalizing by days 2 and 3, marking the transition toward inflammation resolution. • A substantial fraction of patients shows nonresolving inflammation, reflected by persistently elevated leukocyte counts at 72 hours after STEMI. • High leukocyte levels on day 3 are linked to larger infarct size by enzymatic markers (peak CK-MB, troponin T) and by 99mTc-sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography perfusion defect, and to lower LVEF at baseline and follow-up. • Persistent leukocytosis at day 3 identifies a high-risk phenotype with markedly higher 1- and 5-year all-cause mortality; day 3 leukocyte count remains an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in multivariable analysis. • RNA sequencing of human inflammatory monocytes reveals profound, time-dependent transcriptional reprogramming after STEMI.
