RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim: To study the dynamics of markers of angiogenesis based on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and endostatin, as well as to determine 6-month survival in patients taking zofenopril from the first day of AMI with and without obesity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: using enzyme immunoassay, we determined the level of endostatin and IGF-1 in serum on days 1 and 12 in patients with AMI with the presence and absence of obesity, and a statistical processing of the data obtained. RESULTS: Results: The relationship between obesity and angiogenesis indicators, both activators and inhibitors, was determined, and a significant relationship was found between zofenopril therapy and angiogenesis activator IGF-1. Differences in the survival of patients with complicated AMI were determined depending on the choice of ACE inhibitor in favor of a higher survival rate of patients who took zofenopril. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: patients who underwent complicated AMI, taking zofenopril, have a higher survival rate during the 6-month follow-up period. Zofenopril stimulated angiogenesis in the examined patients, which was expressed in patients with and without obesity.
