Abstract

The identification of patients with a high likelihood of left ventricular (LV) remodeling with a high-risk prognosis has critical implications for risk stratification after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between circulating miR-1 and 6-month post-infarct LV remodeling based on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. A total of 80 patients with a first STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who underwent CMR imaging 1 week and 6 months after STEMI were evaluated. The percentage changes of LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), LV end-systolic volume index (LVESV) at 1 week and 6 months after PCI (%ΔLVEF, %ΔLVEDV and %ΔLVESV) were calculated. miR-1 was measured using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based technologies in plasma samples that were collected at admission. The study group was divided into two groups based on a 10% cutoff value for the percentage of change in the LV end-diastolic volume (%ΔLVEDV): remodeling at high risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (%ΔLVEDV ≥10%, termed the LV remodeling group) and remodeling at lower risk of MACEs (%ΔLVEDV <10%, termed the non-LV remodeling group)....Continue Reading
