Correlation of endothelial inflammation in patients with acute myocardial infarction with no-reflow and severity of coronary lesion / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation of endothelial inflammation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)with no-reflow and severity of coronary lesion.Methods A total of 120 patients with AMI were all treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).The patients who had intraoperative no-reflow were in case group (n=40).The patients who were also treated by PCI but did not have no-reflow in the same period in our hospital served as the control group (n=80).According to the results of coronary angiography, no-reflow group patients were divided into three subgroupssingle lesion group (n=14),two-lesion group (n=10), and three-lesion group (n=1 6 ).We monitored these patients’immediate postoperative endothelial microparticles (EMPs)and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1 )levels in both groups with flow cytometry and ELISA methods.Results In the case group,immediate postoperative EMPs and sICAM-1 levels in the blood circulation were significantly higher than those in the control group.EMPs area and sICAM-1 area under the curve in the case group were 0.755 and 0.701,which showed that EMPs and sICAM-1 levels had a good correlation with the occurrence of non-reflow in AMI patients after PCI.Gensini score and EMPs level rose with the increase of the lesion counts,and the level of EMPs was positively correlated with Gensini score.Conclusion In patients with AMI,the EMPs and sICAM-1 levels can well predict the occurrence of no-reflow and are of some value in predicting the severity of coronary lesion.
