PG - 277-82 LID - 10.1016/j.ijcard.2010.04.034 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: We assessed the time profiles and prognostic utility of circulating markers of collagen turnover (CTO) following acute myocardial infarction (MI). In contrast to previous studies, no patient had been pre-treated with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) at the time of initial assessment. METHODS: Plasma levels of N-terminal fragment of type I collagen (PINP), carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), N-terminal fragment of type III collagen (PIIINP), matrix metalloproteinase-1(MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of MMPs type-1 (TIMP-1) were assessed in 233 patients following acute MI. The CTO markers were initially assessed prior to treatment by either captopril or losartan, at a median of 3 days following MI. In addition, blood samples were acquired at 1 month, 1 year and 2 years following MI. Development of heart failure symptoms, all-cause and cardiovascular death were recorded as endpoints during two years of follow-up. RESULTS: With the exception of PIIINP, all CTO markers demonstrated significant longitudinal changes following MI. At baseline, ICTP (p<0.0001) and TIMP-1 (p=0.01) levels were significantly elevated in patients who later died compared with survivors. In multivariable analysis only ICTP reached statistical significance as predictor of all cause death (p=0.048). In patients developing symptoms of heart failure during follow-up, ICTP was the only significantly elevated CTO marker (p<0.01). CONCLUSION: The present study supports a prognostic role for ICTP in both the acute and chronic phase following MI. CI - Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
