Abstract
Aseptic trauma patients with massive muscular damage have increased plasma levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), acting as a danger associated molecular pattern molecule (DAMP) promoting inflammation and tissue damage [1]. We hypothesized that an acute myocardial infarction (MI) would lead to increased circulating levels of mtDNA, potentially contributing to local and systemic inflammation following MI.
