Article Synopsis
- RANTES (CCL5) is a chemokine involved in immune response and may play a role in diseases like atherosclerosis, but its importance during acute myocardial infarction (MI) is not well understood.
- The study analyzed 250 patients with ST-segment-elevation MI, tracking serum levels of RANTES over time and its correlation with major adverse cardiovascular events during a 12-month follow-up.
- Results showed that lower levels of RANTES were linked to a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, suggesting that post-MI RANTES levels could serve as a useful prognostic marker for patients.
