The role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and its C-terminal truncated receptor (soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products, sRAGE) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with or without diabetes is unknown. We compared their levels in patients with and without STEMI, as well as with and without diabetes. A prospective observational study was performed between December 2014 and December 2015. Study group included STEMI patients with coronary artery disease; control group included patients without coronary artery disease. Levels of AGEs and sRAGE were tested on Days 0, 2, and 5 after STEMI. Levels of creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were tested on Days 0, 1, 2, and 3. Patient's diabetic status was determined by medical history or oral glucose tolerance test. Compared to patients in the control group, STEMI patients showed elevated levels of AGEs and sRAGE. In the STEMI group, diabetic patients had higher levels of AGEs and sRAGE compared to nondiabetic patients. The level of AGEs correlated with peak level of CK-MB in the overall population of patients with STEMI and with peak level of NT-proBNP in diabetic patients with STEMI. Levels of AGEs and sRAGE were elevated after STEMI, especially among patients with diabetes. These markers could serve to indicate the severity of myocardial injury and cardiac insufficiency, and play a potential role in predicting the prognosis of patients with STEMI.
