Abstract

Context: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) play divergent roles in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury.

Objective: To investigate serum Ang-1 and Ang-2 levels in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Serum Ang-1 and Ang-2 were measured in 85 STEMI patients in the first week after PCI.

Results: Ang-1, Ang-2 and Ang-2/Ang-1 ratio (Ang-2/1) were all increased at admission, and had dynamic changes after PCI. Ang-2 and Ang-2/1 at admission and 2 h after PCI were positively correlated with peak cardiac troponin T levels.

Conclusion: The extent of myocardial damage may be linked to circulating Ang-2 and Ang-2/1.
