Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity and longterm outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective cohort study

Aim To determine the relationship between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) activity rise during the first 24 hours of ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treat- ment and death after 5 years. Methods From May 1, 2009 to March 23, 2010, 87 STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the Sestre Milosrdnice University Hospital Center were consecutively enrolled in prospective single-center cohort study. PAI-1 activity was determined on admission and 24 hours later. The primary end- point was death after 5 years. The predictive value of PAI-1 activity variables as biomarkers of death was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, independent predictors of death were assessed using multivariate Cox regression, and covariates independently related to higher PAI-1 activity rise were assessed using linear regression. Results Two patients died during the hospital treatment and 11 during the follow-up. PAI-1 activity rise had the largest area under curve (0.748) for predicting death rate (optimal cut- off point 3.7 U/mL, sensitivity 53.8%, specificity 90.5%). Patients with PAI-1 activity rise higher than 3.7 U/mL had significantly higher mortality (P<0.001). KaplanMeier survival curve diverged within the first year after STEMI. Independent predictors of death were PAI- 1 rise and final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow. PAI-1 activity rise was independently related to heart failure, thrombus aspiration, and body weight. Conclusion PAI-1 activity rise higher than 3.7 U/mL is associated with higher 5-year death rate in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI.
