Abstract
Background
G protein-coupled receptor autoantibodies (GPCR-AAs) have been implicated in various cardiovascular disorders. However, their prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear.
Methods
In this prospective cohort study, 436 STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) completed a one-year follow-up. Serum levels of five GPCR-AAs (β1-, β2-, α1-, AT1-, and M2-AAs) were measured at admission using ELISA. Patients were grouped based on the occurrence of MACEs, and associations of GPCR- AAs with MACEs were evaluated using multivariate Cox regression.
Results
Compared with the non-MACEs group, the optical density (OD) values and positivity rates of the β1-AA levels (69.6% vs 19.6%) and M2-AA levels (82.6% vs 60.2%) in patients with STEMI were significantly higher in the MACEs group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that β1-AA [HR (95% CI) 1.11 (1.06–1.16), p < 0.001] and M2-AA [HR (95%CI) 1.14 (1.05–1.23), p = 0.001] were regarded as predictors for the incidence of MACEs in patients with STEMI after PPCI. The combination of β1-AA and M2-AA has the highest predictive performance for MACEs. The area under the curve (AUC) of the integrated 2-marker panel was 0.807 (95% CI, 0.75–0.86, p < 0.001).
Conclusions
Elevated β1- and M2-Autoantibody levels at admission are independent predictors of one-year MACEs in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. Their combined assessment enhances early risk stratification for guiding post-infarction management.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cardiology is devoted to cardiology in the broadest sense. Both basic research and clinical papers can be submitted. The journal serves the interest of both practicing clinicians and researchers.
In addition to original papers, we are launching a range of new manuscript types, including Consensus and Position Papers, Systematic Reviews, Meta-analyses, and Short communications. Case reports are no longer acceptable. Controversial techniques, issues on health policy and social medicine are discussed and serve as useful tools for encouraging debate.
