Myocardial Infarction Plasma
Myocardial Infarction Plasma from IRB-consented donors with confirmed MI, an atherothrombotic event caused by coronary plaque disruption and thrombotic occlusion. Suitable for cardiac troponin and NT-proBNP assay development, coagulation and antithrombotic research, and cardiovascular risk proteomics. STEMI/NSTEMI and time-since-event stratification available.
Myocardial Infarction Plasma for Cardiovascular and Atherothrombosis Research
Myocardial Infarction Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with myocardial infarction and processed within one day of collection to preserve key analytes such as cytokines, proteins and metabolites. Myocardial infarction is an atherothrombotic vascular event: rupture or erosion of an atherosclerotic coronary plaque triggers platelet activation and thrombus formation, occluding blood flow and causing ischaemic necrosis of downstream myocardium. This human plasma supports cardiovascular biomarker discovery, thrombosis research and diagnostic assay development.
Atherothrombosis, Myocardial Injury and Why Plasma
- Cardiomyocyte necrosis releases structural proteins into circulation. Cardiac troponin I and T are the reference biomarkers of myocardial injury and are central to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
- Neurohormonal strain markers, notably BNP and NT-proBNP, reflect ventricular wall stress and are widely measured alongside injury markers to characterise post-infarct remodelling.
- The precipitating event is thrombotic. Plasma retains coagulation factors, fibrinogen, D-dimer and platelet-derived analytes, which serum does not, making plasma the appropriate matrix for haemostasis and thrombosis work.
- Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory as well as a lipid-driven process, and circulating inflammatory mediators including CRP and IL-6 are established correlates of atherothrombotic risk.
- Because collection timing relative to symptom onset determines the analyte profile, time-since-event metadata is essential for interpreting kinetics of injury and inflammatory markers.
- Plasma is acellular. It supports high-sensitivity immunoassay, coagulation assay, proteomic, lipidomic, metabolomic and circulating nucleic acid work — but not flow cytometry or other cell-based assays.
Donor Stratification Available
- Infarct type: ST-elevation (STEMI) versus non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction
- Time since event: acute presentation versus convalescent or post-infarct follow-up collections

- First versus recurrent event
- Cardiometabolic comorbidity: diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, chronic kidney disease
- Antiplatelet, anticoagulant and lipid-lowering therapy status
- Matched healthy controls available
