Beyond anticoagulation: Rivaroxaban attenuates acute myocardial inflammatory injury through the PAR2-mROS-TXNIP-NLRP3 pyroptosis axis.
BACKGROUND Excessive inflammation and oxidative stress are major drivers of myocardial injury following acute myocardial infarction (MI). NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-driven pyroptosis is the central underlying mechanism of the inflammatory response. In parallel, factor Xa (FX...
