Overview

This study examines how the interaction between octanal (an OR6A2 receptor activator) and OR6A2 expression influences inflammation and clinical outcomes in Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury patients. We analyze two key relationships: 1) The octanal-OR6A2 pathway's association with systemic oxidative stress/inflammatory biomarkers, and 2) How OR6A2 expression patterns on monocyte subtypes and plasma octanal levels correlate with major cardiovascular events. Patients undergoing this post-revascularization injury provided blood samples for OR6A2/octanal/inflammation measurements. IR Injury patients underwent 44-month clinical follow-up. Results may identify biological markers for personalized risk assessment after revascularization therapies. Ethics approval: Zhongda Hospital #2020ZDSYLL051-P01.
