Endothelial dysfunction evaluated by peripheral arterial tonometry is related with peak TnI values in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty

PURPOSE: The role of endothelial-dependent function in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is not clear. Endothelial dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiological processes occurring after STEMI and influence the extension of myocardial necrosis. Endothelial-depende...
