Özet
Objective: Apelin is a novel adipocytokine with a significant role in ischemia/reperfusion injury that is synthesized and secreted in myocardial cells and coronary endothelium. There is debate on its value for the diagnosis and prognosis of myocardial infarction. We aimed to investigate plasma apelin level in patients with acute ST segment elevation (STEMI) and non-ST segment elevation (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction and its relationship with left ventricular function and prognostic parameters. Methods: Forty-one patients with STEMI, 21 patients with NSTEMI and 10 patients as control group with normal coronary angiograms were included. Plasma apelin level at presentation was investigated regarding its relationship with other diagnostic and prognostic parameters. Results: Apelin level was significantly higher in acute myocardial infarction (0.31 ± 0.56 ng/mL) compared to control group (0.08 ± 0.05 ng/mL) (p < 0.01). Likewise, it was found to be significantly higher in STEMI group (0.45 ± 0.73 ng/mL) compared to control group (0.08 ± 0.05 ng/mL) (p < 0.01). Although apelin was higher in NSTEMI group (0.13 ± 0.10 ng/mL) compared to control group (0.08 ± 0.05 ng/mL), this difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). No correlation was found between apelin and NT-proBNP, hsCRP, troponin, ejection fraction (EF) and Killip score (p > 0.05). A positive correlation was found between apelin and TIMI, GRACE and Gensini scores (p < 0.05). Only GRACE score was found to be correlated with apelin in MI groups. Conclusion: Apelin level was found to be high in acute myocardial infarction. With its inotropic and vasodilator effects, apelin was thought to have a protective role against severe ischemia.
