Characterization and implications of the dynamics of eosinophils in blood and in the infarcted myocardium after coronary reperfusion

Abstract

Eosinopenia post-MI was associated with an impaired cardiac structure and adverse events. The decay in circulating eosinophils soon after reperfusion mirrors their migration into the infarcted myocardium, as reflected by their presence in heart samples from swine and patients. Further studies are needed to understanding this unexplored pathway and its therapeutic implications.
