PG - 1710452 LID - 10.1155/2020/1710452 [doi] LID - 1710452 AB - BACKGROUND: This study aims to investigate the coronary microcirculatory resistance and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) concomitant with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) after an elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 101 patients that underwent elective PCI between May 2015 and July 2018 due to AMI were consecutively enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into a HHcy group (53) and a normal Hcy group (control; 48) based on their plasma homocysteine concentration. The characteristics of coronary angiography, the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) of infarct-related vessels (IRV), changes in left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after PCI, and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) three months after PCI were compared between these groups. RESULTS: Compared to the results from the Hcy group, the HHcy group had a higher IMR. The HHcy group had significantly higher LVEDd and a lower LVEF than the Hcy group 3 months after PCI. Additionally, the incidence of MACE at three months after PCI was higher in the HHcy group than in the Hcy group. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation with IMR in the HHcy group. Furthermore, there was a difference in the LVEDd measured at one day after PCI and at three months after PCI in the HHcy group. CONCLUSION: AMI patients concomitant with HHcy that undergo elective PCI are prone to coronary microcirculatory dysfunction and have a poor cardiac function and poor prognosis at three months after PCI.
