Eosinophil numbers in thrombi from patients with myocardial infarction. (A) Representative image of a Luna staining of a human coronary artery thrombus. Left: overview image. Original magnification ×20. Right: higher magnification (original magnification ×40) showing eosinophils (arrowheads) with polylobulated nuclei (dark blue) and eosinophil granules (bright red). Scale bar, 75 µm. (B) Logistic regression analysis of eosinophil numbers in coronary artery thrombi divided by type of thrombosis (ST vs native vessel thrombosis) according to gender, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, smoking status, hyperlipidemia, or presentation as ST-elevation myocardial infarction. (C) Eosinophils/mm2 in human coronary artery thrombi from male (n = 168) and female patients (n = 48) with ST. (D) Logistic regression analysis of eosinophil numbers in coronary artery thrombi from female patients with ST according to diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, smoking status, and hyperlipidemia. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
