The Importance of Cardiac Biomarkers on Remodelling After Myocardial Infarction
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the importance of tenascin-C ( TNC), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) on LV remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). Fifty-seven stable patients with subacute anterior MI who had total or subtotal occlusion in the infarct-related left anterior desending artery in coronary angiography were enrolled the study. There was significant increase in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) baseline to follow-up in total-PCI group. Baseline to follow-up; a borderline significant increase was observed in LVEDV in the total-medical group. No significant difference was seen in LV volumes and EF in the subtotal-PCI group.
