The proportion of CD34+/CXCR4+ cells within blood mononuclear cells was 1.96 times higher after STEMI compared with NSTEMI (GMR = 1.96, 95% CI 0.87, 4.37) and 1.55 times higher in patients with diabetes compared to patients without diabetes (GMR = 1.55, 95% CI 0.77, 3.13). This evidence concerns the gene CXCR4 and diabetes mellitus.
