Plasma specialized pro‐resolving mediator signatures are distinct in Black and White patients during acute myocardial infarction (MI) events. (A) Distribution of resolvin E1 (RvE1) and protectin D1 among Black and White male and female participants within 24–48 h (mean: 37.73 h) post‐MI determined by mass spectrometry. (B) Plasma quantitative levels and representative mass spectrometry spectra of RvE1 and protectin D1 in Black and White male and female patients. The black arrows indicate the precise peak of a specialized pro‐resolving mediator signature. (C) Summary figure illustrating overall changes in bioactive lipids signature in Black and White patients. Black, African American; White, European American.
