Despite continuous advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Considering the role of inflammation in AMI etiopathogenesis, we aimed to explore the role of a group of three inflammatory cytokines (IL-1RA, IL-6 and resistin) as an independent prognostic factor for LVR assessed by 3D echocardiography and MACE in patients with STEMI. We enrolled 41 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI. We assessed the occurrence of LVR (defined as an increase of over 20% in end-diastolic left ventricular volume at 6 months compared with baseline values) and MACE. Using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) method, we measured plasmatic levels of IL-6, IL-1RA and resistin (within 48 h after AMI and at 6 months). Out of 41 STEMI patients, 20.5% presented signs of LVR at follow up, and in 24.4%, MACE occurred. In univariate logistic regression analysis, baseline levels of IL-6 (OR = 1.042, p = 0.004), IL-1RA (OR = 1.004, p = 0.05) and resistin (OR = 1.7, p = 0.007) were all significantly associated with LVR. ROC analysis showed that the three cytokines as a group (AUC 0.946, p = 0.000) have a better predictive value for LVR than any individual cytokine. The group of cytokines also proved to have a better predictive value for MACE together than separately (AUC = 0.875, p = 0.000 for ROC regression model). IL-6, IL-1RA and resistin plasma levels at baseline have a good predictive value both as independent variables and also as a group for the development of adverse LVR and MACE at 6 months follow up after STEMI.
