Abstract
Introduction Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a favorable treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STE-MI) and is in most instances effective in assessing revascularization (1,2). [...]
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and creatine kinase (CK) as long-term predictors of reduced systolic function in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with complete revascularization. This prospective study evaluated consecutive patients with acute STEMI who had normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF [greater than or equal to]50%) at admission with single-vessel disease and underwent complete revascularization. Blood samples were collected from admission to day 7. The primary endpoint was reduction of LVEF Key words: Myocardial infarction; C-reactive protein; Creatine kinase; Troponin T; Percutaneous coronary intervention; Prognosis
