Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum adiponectin level on morbidity of acute myocardial infarction, and to evaluate its impact on prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We prospectively recruited patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had underwent primary PCI. Their serum adiponectin levels were measured. The TIMI blood flow classification of culprit vessel was recorded after PCI. Echocardiography was performed in 24 h after PCI to evaluate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were recorded including cardiac death, recurrent nonfatal myocardial infarction, target vessel reascularization, and readmission for heart failure after 18 months′ followed-up. Results 108 consecutive patients with STEMI and 38 control patients without coronary artery stenosis were recruited. The serum adiponectin level in STEMI group was significantly lower than that in control: (1 413.9 ± 218.8) ng/L vs.(1 756.3 ± 205.5) ng/L (P<0.01). STEMI patients with LVEF < 50% had lower serum adiponectin level compared with LVEF ≥50%: (1 334.1 ± 226.3) ng/L vs. (1 453.0 ± 213.8) ng/L , P<0.01. The serum adiponectin level in the TIMI 0-2 group after PCI was significantly lower than that in the TIMI 3 group:(1 350.7 ± 214.9) ng/L vs. (1 430.6 ± 218.5) ng/L, P < 0.01. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level was an independent predictor of STEMI ( OR=0.992, 95% CI 0.987-0.996, P<0.01). MACE occurred in 22 patients (20.4% ). Cox regression analysis revealed that lower serum adiponectin level remained an independent predictor of MACE ( OR=0.996, 95% CI 0.993-0.999, P < 0.01). Conclusions Lower serum adiponectin level is significantly associated with morbidity of STEMI and adverse prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
