Background . High levels of Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) are reported in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).  Aim . To investigate circulating levels and gene expression of PTX3 in patients with AMI and stable angina pectoris (AP) undergoing PCI.  Methods . Ten patients with AP and 20 patients with AMI were included. Blood samples were drawn before PCI in the AP group and after 3 and 12 hours and days 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 in both groups.  Results . Circulating PTX3 levels were higher in AMI compared to AP at 3 and 12 hours ( P  < 0.001 and  P  = 0.003). Within the AMI group, reduction from 3 hours to all later time points was observed (all  P  ≤ 0.001). Within the AP group, increase from baseline to 3 hours ( P  = 0.022), followed by reductions thereafter (all  P  < 0.05), was observed. PTX3 mRNA increased in the AMI group from 3 hours to days 7 and 14 in a relative manner of 62% and 73%, while a relative reduction from baseline to 3 and 12 hours of 29% and 37% was seen in the AP group.  Conclusion . High circulating PTX3 levels shortly after PCI in AMI indicate that AMI itself influences PTX3 levels. PTX3 mRNA might be in response to fluctuations in circulating levels.
