Effect of high loading dose of clopidogrel on myocardial microcirculation in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of high loading dose of clopidogrel on myocardial microcirculation in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods Sixty-four STEMI patients were divided into 300 mg clopidogrel group(n =32)and 600 mg clopidogrel group(n = 32)randomly. Myocardial blush grades,sum-ST-segment resolution (sumSTR%),placental growth factor(PIGF),soluble CD40 ligand(sCD40L)and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%)were compared after PCI. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in basic clinical or angiographic characteristics before PCI(P＞0. 05). Compared with the 300 mg clopidogrel group,patients in the 600 mg clopidogrel group had higher percentage of blush grade 3 of infarct related arteris(21.88%vs. 50. 00% ,P ＜0.05)and higher sumSTR%((70. 90 ±9. 51)% vs.(60. 70 ± 15.06)% ,P ＜0. 05). There were lower serum PIGF levels(14.37 ± 1.32)ng/L vs.(15. 85 ± 1.71)ng/L,P ＜ 0. 05)and sCD40L levels(4. 93 ±0. 71)μg/L vs.(5.68 ± 0. 77)μg/L,P ＜ 0.05)in patients in the 600 mg clopidogrel group after PCI. Seven days after PCI,the LVEF was significantly increased in the 600 mg clopidogrel group(70.96 ± 9. 51)% vs.(65. 27 ±9. 85)% ,P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions High loading dose of clopidogrel before primary PCI can improve myocardium microcirculation in patients with STEMI.
