Abstract EN

We demonstrated that visfatin expressed in monocytes and neutrophils and increased their reactivity in male acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients.

Furthermore, visfatin was strongly appeared in lipid rich coronary rupture plaques and macrophages.

These results suggest another explanation about leukocytes mediated visfatin that may play a pathogenesis role in coronary vulnerable plaques rupture.
