ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the relationship between the number of CD14(+) cells, myocardial infarct (MI) size and left ventricular (LV) volumes in ST segment elevation MI (STEMI) and non-ST segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) patients.METHODS:
A total of 62 patients with STEMI (n=34) or NSTEMI (n=28) were enrolled. The number of CD14(+) cells was assessed at admission. Infarct size, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV volumes were measured using magnetic resonance imaging five days after MI and six months after MI.RESULTS:
In STEMI patients, the number of CD14(+) cells was positively and significantly correlated with infarct size at day 5 (r=0.40; P=0.016) and after six months (r=0.34; P=0.047), negatively correlated with LVEF at day 5 (r=-0.50; P=0.002) and after six months (r=-0.46; P=0.005) and positively correlated with end-diastolic (r=0.38; P=0.02) and end-systolic (r=0.49; P=0.002) volumes after six months. In NSTEMI patients, no significant correlation was found between the number of CD14(+) cells and infarct size, LVEF or LV volumes at day 5 or after six months.CONCLUSIONS:
The number of CD14(+) cells at admission was associated with infarct size and LV remodelling in STEMI patients with large infarct size, whereas in NSTEMI patients, no relationship was observed between numbers of CD14(+) cells and LV remodelling.
