Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The rise in cardiac troponin I after ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is predictive of infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the comparative value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and troponin I for infarct size evaluation and the respective relationships between these biomarkers and mortality have not been investigated. METHODS:We studied 87 patients who underwent primary PCI for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Concentrations of troponin I and CRP were measured before and for 72 hours after PCI. Infarct size was measured by the cumulative release of alpha-hydroxybutyrate deshydrogenase during the 72 hours after PCI (QHBDH72) and by delayed radionuclide LVEF (at 4.6 +/- 1.7 weeks). RESULTS:Concentrations of CRP at peak and at 24, 48 and 72 hours, and of troponin I at 6 and 72 hours, correlated with QHBDH72 and LVEF. In single variable analysis, at a mean follow-up of 42 +/- 8 months, Killip score of 3 to 4, CRP at baseline and at 48 hours, and troponin I at 6 and 72 hours were related to mortality. By multiple variable analysis, Killip score (OR 9.9, CI 1.6-58.8) and troponin I at 72 hours (OR 9.43, CI 2.1-43.5) were the only independent predictors of mortality. CONCLUSIONS:Plasma concentrations of CRP and troponin I after PCI were related to infarct size and mortality. However, Killip class and troponin I at 72 hours were the only independent predictors of mortality at long-term follow-up.
