Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The role of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on composition of thrombus has not been fully characterized in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). AIMS:To elucidate the differences between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with STEMI in relation to the composition of coronary thrombus, and the potential association of these differences with glycated haemoglobin levels and markers of oxidative stress. METHODS:Intracoronary thrombi from consecutive thrombus aspiration procedures in STEMI patients, 25 diabetic and 28 non-diabetic, were analyzed by immunofluorescence with confocal microscopy. Plasma biomarkers (P-selectin, vWF, PAI-1, t-PA, D-dimer, TF pathway markers, plasmin and CD34+) were measured in peripheral blood, and the oxidative capacity of plasma as indirect measure of oxidative stress was measured in parallel. RESULTS:Patients with T2DM had higher levels of fibrin (P=0.03), P-selectin (P=0.0001), PAI-1 (P=0.03) and vWF (P=0.006) in the thrombus and higher plasma TF activity (P=0.01) compared to non-diabetics. TF activity and plasmin correlated with HbA1C levels (R2=0.71, P=0.0001; R2=0.46, P=0.04, respectively) and TF was inversely correlated with TFPI (R2=-0.44, P=0.008) and tPA (R2=-0.48, P=0.003). Diabetic patients showed a higher oxidative response of plasma (26.47±6.88% vs 22.06±6.96% of oxidized lipids, P=0.04) (measured by H-NMR spectroscopy) that was associated to increased fibrin content into thrombus (R2=0.76, P=0.01). CONCLUSION:Diabetic patients with STEMI display an increased thrombogenicity that results in a different thrombus composition respect to non-diabetic patients with STEMI. The increased thrombogenicity present in T2DM is related to higher glycoxidative stress, as quantified by HbA1C levels and oxidative response in plasma.
