The prognostic value of MR-proadrenomedullin in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock
Context: Cardiogenic shock (CS) still remains one of the main causes of death in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of midregional (MR)-proadrenomedullin in AMI complicated by CS. Methods: Forty-seven consecutive patients were inc...

Summary: | Context: Cardiogenic shock (CS) still remains one of the main causes of death in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of midregional (MR)-proadrenomedullin in AMI complicated by CS.
Methods: Forty-seven consecutive patients were included in our prospective observational study. All patients underwent coronarography and successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Plasma levels of MR-proADM were measured by a immunofluorescence method. The primary endpoint of the study, defined as cardiovascular death, occurred in 17 patients (36%).
Results and conclusion: Elevated plasma level of MR-proADM, determined 24 h after diagnosis of CS could be a predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI complicated by CS. |
