Abstract
Introduction: SERPINA3 is an acute-phase protein triggered by inflammation. It is upregulated after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Data on its long-term prognostic value in MI patients are scarce. We aimed to assess the utility of SERPINA3 as a prognostic marker in patients hospitalized for chest pain of suspected coronary origin.
Methods: A total of 871 consecutive patients, 386 diagnosed with AMI, were included. Stepwise Cox regression models, applying continuous loge-transformed values, were fitted for the biomarker with all-cause mortality and cardiac death within 2 years or all-cause mortality within the median 7 years as dependent variables. An analysis of MI and stroke, and combined endpoints, respectively, was added. The hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) was assessed in a univariate and multivariable model.
Results: Plasma samples from 847 patients were available. By 2-year follow-up, 138 (15.8%) patients had died, of which 86 were cardiac deaths. The univariate analysis showed a significant association between SERPINA3 and all-cause mortality (HR 1.41 [95% 1.19-1.68], p < 0.001) but not for cardiac death. Associations after adjustment were non-significant. By 7-year follow-up, 332 (38.1%) patients had died. SERPINA3 was independently associated with all-cause mortality from the third year onward. The HR was 1.14 (95% CI, 1.02-1.28), p = 0.022. Similar results applied to combined endpoints, but not for MI and stroke, respectively. The prognostic value of SERPINA3 was limited to non-AMI patients. No independent associations were noted among AMI patients.
Conclusions: SERPINA3 predicts long-term all-cause mortality but fails to predict outcome in AMI patients.
期刊介绍：
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
