PG - 181-6 LID - 10.5603/KP.a2013.0086 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Resistin is a novel adipokine that is suggested to be involved in inflammatory conditions and atherosclerosis. AIM: To investigate the prognostic importance of resistin in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. METHODS: Resistin levels were measured in a population of 132 patients with AMI, of whom 72 (54%) had a diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and 60 (46%) had non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Thirty-three consecutive subjects who were referred to elective coronary angiography due to chest pain evaluation with normal coronary angiograms served as controls. All patients were followed-up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS: There was a significant increase in serum resistin levels in patients with AMI compared to controls (3.71 +/- 4.20 vs. 2.00 +/- 1.05, p = 0.001, respectively). However, serum resistin levels were similar in patients with STEMI and NSTEMI. (4.26 +/- 5.11 vs. 3.06 +/- 2.64, p = 0.49, respectively). The patients with MACE had significantly higher levels of serum resistin levels compared to either the AMI or the control group (6.35 +/- 5.47, p = 0.005, respectively). Logistic regression analysis revealed that resistin, left ventricular ejection fraction, and coronary artery bypass graft were independent predictors of MACE in AMI patients (OR = 1.11, 95% CI 1.01-1.22, p = 0.03 and OR = 3.84, 95% CI 1.26-11.71, p = 0.018, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Serum resistin level was increased in patients with AMI and constituted a risk factor for MACE in this group.
