Circumferential strain showed a highly significant rise with increasing values of the CRP gradient in control patients ( p < 0.001, Figure 7A , CMR1) but not in the apheresis group ( p = 0.83).

Moreover, CRP elimination in STEMI through CRP apheresis showed a trend to improve, as further indication of effectiveness, myocardial perfusion by lowering microvascular obstruction (MVO).
