摘要
Inflammation is very important in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) as well as in cardiac remodeling after an acute myocardial infarction (MI). Our study examined the prognostic value of Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) in patients with ACS in the ERICO (Strategy of Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome) study. We evaluated serum samples from 803 patients. The prognostic value of CCL2 was evaluated at the 2-year follow-up, according to cutoff points established by the median. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression were used for analysis of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, and a combined outcome of fatal myocardial infarction or new non-fatal MI. There were 115 deaths from all causes, 78 deaths due to cardiovascular causes and 67 events in combined outcomes. CCL2 levels below the median (≤100.9 pg/mL) were associated with increased risk of MI death or new non-fatal MI, even after model adjustment. Low serum levels of CCL2 shows a significant association with fatal or new non-fatal MI.
