Surrogate markers of neutrophil extracellular traps. (A) Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, n = 83, femoral 581.7 [519.8–672.7] versus culprit site 692.7 [552.7–888.0] ng/ml) and (B) citrullinated histone 3 levels (citH3, n = 87, femoral 233 [156.5–545.6] versus culprit site 380.5 [173.8–820.3] ng/ml) were significantly increased at the culprit site of STEMI patients. Enzymatic infarct size expressed as the creatine phosphokinase isoform MB area under the curve (CK-MB AUC) correlated with (C) double-stranded DNA (dsDNA, n = 65, rs = 0.409, p < 0.001) and (D) citrullinated histone 3 (citH3, n = 65, rs = 0.315, p < 0.01). Significance ****p < 0.0001.
