The final infarct size (FIS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are the greatest predictors of post-AMI mortality, with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) being the gold standard method for their measurement. Myocardial damage biomarkers, such as creatine kinase (CK) and myocardial creatine kinase (CKMB) are currently used to diagnose AMI and estimate the myocardial damage extent. It would be plausible to use them as predictors of FIS and LVEF; however, current evidence is not available up to date. \u0000Objective: To determine the potential power of plasma CK and CKMB levels as predictors of FIS and LVEF impairment, respectively, on the basis of their correlation in patients undergoing primary coronary angioplasty (PCA) following ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). \u0000Methodology: A retrospective analysis of PREVEC Trial (ISRCTN registry: 56034553), a multicentric, randomized, double-blind clinical study was performed. Sixty-seven patients with STEMI scheduled for PCA were enrolled. The CMR was performed 7-15 days after the event. Three radiologists blinded to clinical information measured FIS and LVEF. Total CK and CKMB were measured in peripheral venous blood at 6-8 hours after PCA. Correlation coefficient were obtained, and the tests were considered significant with a p value <0.05. The software GraphPrism 6.0 was used for the statistical analysis. \u0000Results: A significant positive correlation was obtained between levels of cardiac biomarkers and FIS [total CK (r-square 0.3, p<0.0001) and CK MB (r-square 0.15, p<0.0027)]. In addition, the levels of these biomarkers showed a significant negative correlation with LVEF [total CK (r-square 0.3, p<0.0001) and CK MB (r-square 0.18, p<0.0012)]. \u0000Conclusion: These results are consistent with the view that the myocardial damage biomarkers CK and CKMB are reliable as predictors of FIS and LVEF measured by CMR in post-AMI patients. These data suggest that these biomarkers could be included in future Risk Scores.","PeriodicalId":138368,"journal":{"name":"New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116733626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The degree of carotid stenosis is the main marker for assessing the risk of stroke in \"carotid disease\", however, the degree of stenosis alone cannot accurately predict future stroke. Asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is a well-recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke. Non-stenotic atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques can also cause atheroembolism in the presence of ulceration and rupture of the plaque. We aimed to summarizes the current available evidence on the association between carotid atherosclerosis and serum inflammatory biomarkers. Atherosclerosis is a dynamic process involving inflammatory and thrombotic mechanisms with progressive degree of stenosis. The ability to predict the progression of atherosclerotic stenosis can be useful for clinical practice in assessing the risk of stroke development and its prevention. To identify subgroup of patients with higher risk for ipsilateral stroke is important aim. Inflammatory activity is an integral indicator of the development of atherosclerosis and its complications and plays a key role in the pathogenesis, progression, rupture of atherosclerotic plaque and the development of clinical manifestations in patients with atherosclerotic carotid stenosis. Several serum inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, pentraxin 3, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and selectins and matrix metalloproteinases proposed as tool for risk assessment in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. Even though there are some cardiovascular biomarkers identified, they have only modest predictive value. Some well-established biomarkers for coronary disease are not relevant to carotid atherosclerosis. Future research may clarify the clinical significance of serum inflammatory biomarker in carotid atherosclerosis.","PeriodicalId":138368,"journal":{"name":"New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128586240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
