Association of serum angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2 with ST-segment resolution in acute ;myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association of serum angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) with myocardial reperfusion in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods A total of 103 consecutive STEMI patients who received primary PCI were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to ST-segment resolution (STR) at 2 h after PCISTR ≥ 50%group (n=69) and STR0.05). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, Ang-2/Ang-1 before PCI was independently associated with STR < 50%;Other independent predictors were pain to balloon time, infarct related artery (LAD), and TIMI flow grade<Ⅲafter PCI. Conclusions Higher Ang-2/Ang-1 is an independent predictor of poor myocardial reperfusion in STEMI patients after PCI.
