Enhanced apoptosis after stimulation of endothelial cells with microparticles of resuscitated patients. Enhanced apoptosis of endothelial cells (HUVECs) after stimulation with microparticles (MPs) of resuscitated patients (dark grey bars) compared with their plasma (light grey bars) and compared with endothelium stimulated with MPs of healthy controls (Healthy; left). This apoptotic effect is significant for MPs isolated from patients early after resuscitation (Immediately after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); middle), but not for MPs isolated from resuscitated patients in a 24-hour course after cardiac arrest (24 hours after CPR; right). (## P < 0.005 versus CPR or versus plasma, respectively).
