PG - 184-9 LID - S0167-5273(14)00369-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijcard.2014.02.016 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the safety profile and potential "therapeutic" effect of intravenous ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron-oxide (USPIO)-based iron administration regarding infarct healing in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). USPIO-administration was recently shown to enable an improved characterization of myocardial infarct pathology in acute STEMI patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventeen study patients (IRON, 54 +/- 9 yrs, 88% male) and 22 matched controls (CONTROL, 57 +/- 9 yrs, 77% male) both with primary reperfused STEMI underwent multi-parametric CMR studies in the first week and three months after acute MI. Only IRON patients received a single intravenous bolus of 510 mg elemental iron as ferumoxytol (Feraheme(TM)) within four days following acute MI. RESULTS: Three months later, all patients were alive and there were no adverse cardiac events. Significant improvement in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (IRON: 53 +/- 10% to 59 +/- 9%, p=0.002; CONTROL: 54 +/- 6% to 57 +/- 10%, p=0.005) as well as shrinkage of infarct size were seen in both groups at follow-up. There was a more pronounced decrease in infarct size in the IRON group (IRON: -10.3 +/- 5.4% vs. CONTROL: -7.0 +/- 8.4%, p=0.050) in addition to a significant decrease in both endocardial extent and prevalence of transmural infarctions in IRON but not in CONTROL patients. A significant decrease in LV end systolic volume was only seen in the IRON group (71 +/- 25 mL to 59 +/- 25 mL, p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous iron administration in acute STEMI patients seems to be associated with an improved infarct healing and a beneficial global left ventricular remodelling. These findings together with the good safety profile make USPIO-based iron administration a promising future candidate as a "diagnostic" and "therapeutic" adjunctive solution in acute MI management.
