Serum levels of VEGF and basic FGF in the subacute phase of myocardial infarction.

Abstract:

:We examined serial changes in serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) measured by ELISAs in 45 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who received heparin intravenously for 3 to 5 days after the onset and in 30 control subjects with an old myocardial infarction. To evaluate the effect of heparin on these serum levels, heparin was administered intravenously in 10 patients with AMI on day 21. Blood samples were obtained from all AMI patients on days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 and from 10 AMI patients before and 1 h after heparin administration. Serum VEGF level was significantly reduced after heparin administration (P<0.001). Serum samples from day 1 to 3 were therefore excluded from the subsequent analysis. Serum VEGF level in AMI patients was significantly higher on day 7 than in the control subjects (P<0.0001), and then decreased over time (P<0.0001). The serum VEGF level on day 7 was independently associated with the peak serum CK level (P<0.05). The serum bFGF level did not differ significantly between the AMI patients and the control subjects. In conclusion, the serum VEGF level may be selectively elevated during the healing process after AMI.
