Is the basement membrane of intramyocardial capillaries thickened in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
These results suggest that BM thickening constitutes significant changes in the intramyocardial capillaries in patients that develop AMI. Also these changes are likely to occur prior to the induction of AMI.
We conclude that ATA, by protecting PNH erythrocytes from their decay accelerating factor (CD55) and protectin (CD59) deficiencies, may be an effective oral treatment in this disorder.
