ObjectiveCarbohydrate metabolism disorders (CMD) significantly impact the development and progression of all forms of ischemic heart disease, and inflammation is regarded as a general pathogenetic link between CMD and ischemic heart disease.MethodsA total of 601 patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) (STEMI), admitted within 24 hours from the onset of symptoms during 1 year, were included in this registry study. The blood levels of inflammation markers were measured at days 10–14 with further follow up at 1 year.ResultsThe analysis of acute-phase percutaneous coronary intervention impact on the 1-year outcomes showed that endovascular revascularization significantly improved the 1-year prognosis of STEMI patients both with and without CMD. The analysis of inflammation markers showed significantly higher levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and sCD40L in MI patients with diabetes mellitus, and impaired glucose tolerance. Additionally, the patients with impaired glucose tolerance had significantly higher IL-12 levels. In the diabetic MI patients, the odds ratio of a poor 1-year outcome was high for patients with a high Killip classification of acute heart failure upon admission.ConclusionPersistent inflammation in STEMI patients with CMD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention might be responsible for vascular complications within 1 year after MI. Comorbid diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance can amplify the significance of the inflammatory response for the development of adverse 1-year outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
