Abstract

Introduction. Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cause of disability and mortality in developed countries. Prediction of adverse outcomes in both early and long periods of MI using biomarkers is an urgent task of modern medicine.

Objective. To evaluate the predictive role of galectin-3 in patients with ST-segment elevation MI.

Material and methods. The study included 259 patients during first 24 hours of ST-segment elevation MI. All patients underwent standard laboratory and instrumental examination. Coronary angiography with percutaneous coronary intervention was performed on most patients (98,5%). Galectin-3 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on the first and 10–14th day of the disease. Long-term follow-up period was 12,4±1,1 months. The “end points” were as follows: death from any cause, recurrent MI, insult or transient ischemic attack, hospitalization for angina or heart failure. The compliance to medical treatment was analyzed.

Results. Adverse outcomes at long-term follow-up were registered in 72 (34%) patients. Recurrent MI and hospitalization for unstable angina were the most frequent adverse events. Galectin-3 estimated on the 10–14th days of MI, a high SYNTAX score and low compliance had a high prognostic significance to assess the risk of adverse events during one year after MI. The combination of these factors allows to calculate the probability of adverse events. The sensitivity of this prognostic model was 71.4%, while the specificity of the model – 63.2%, the area under the ROC curve was 0.741 (р=0.0001).

Conclusion. Galectin-3, estimated on the 10–14th day of the MI, can improve approaches to the risk evaluation in the of adverse events during one year after MI.
