Association of Plasma Trimethylamine N-Oxide Level with Healed Culprit Plaques Examined by Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Healed plaque is a hallmark of previous regional plaque rupture or erosion. We hypothesized that the plasma level of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is related to healed culprit plaque in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients.
