AB  - We assessed the association between serum gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) 
      activity with postprimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) coronary flow 
      and in-hospital major advanced cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with ST 
      elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients with STEMI (n = 425; males 78%; 
      mean age 60 +/- 13 years) were enrolled. Patients were divided into 3 GGT tertiles 
      and 2 groups according to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow 
      grade. The TIMI flow percentages were similar in the 3 GGT tertiles (32%, 45%, 
      and 42%, respectively, P = .336). Total MACE increased with GGT tertiles (among 
      tertiles, respectively; P < .001). The total MACE was significantly higher in 
      impaired flow group than in normal flow group (23% vs 7%; P < .001). At 
      multivariate analyses, serum GGT activity was an independent predictor of 
      in-hospital MACE (odds ratio [OR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.33; P 
      < .001). In conclusion, serum GGT activity is associated with in-hospital MACE in 
      patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
