Abstract:Objective To investigate the serum vitronectin level in patients with acute myocardial infarction and its relationship with severity and prognosis. Methods Eighty patients with acute myocardial infarction who were hospitalized were selected as the myocardial infarction group, and 80 physical examinations of the same period were selected as the control group in the Department of Cardiology from January 2017 to December 2017. The clinical data and follow-up data were collected. The serum vitronectin, CK-MB and cTnI levels were determined. Results The serum levels of vitronectin, CK-MB and cTnI in the myocardial infarction group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Comparison of serum levels of ubiquitin, CK-MB, cTnI and Gensimi scores in patients with different degrees of coronary artery stenosis was significantly different (P < 0.05); compared with the mild patients, the serum vitronectin, CK-MB, cTnI levels and Gensimi scores were elevated in the moderate and severe patients; compared with moderate patients, the serum vitronectin, CK-MB, cTnI levels and Gensimi scores were elevated in severe patients.The serum vitronectin in the myocardial infarction group was positively correlated with CK-MB, cTnI and Gensimi scores (P < 0.05). The serum vitronectin, CK-MB, cTnI levels and Gensimi scores in the cardiovascular adverse event group were higher than those in the non-cardiovascular adverse events group (P < 0.05). Conclusions The serum vitronectin level is elevated in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The level of serum vitronectin is associated with severity of the disease and cardiovascular adverse events.
