This study requires the consecutive enrollment of 60 patients at admission for first acute myocardial infarction. At enrollment, before reperfusion, a blood sample is obtained to measure B-Cell Activating Factor (BAFF) and methylglyoxal (MGO) levels in the acute setting. This measure is then repeated at follow-up visit 3 months after reperfusion. The aim of the study is to identify specific subsets of patients and evaluate biomarkers variations.
