Growth differentiation factor-15 is a predictive biomarker in primary ventricular fibrillation: The RUTI-STEMI-PVF study

Background: Primary ventricular fibrillation is an ominous complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and proper biomarkers for risk prediction are lacking. Growth differentiation factor-15 is a marker of inflammation, oxidative stress and hypoxia with well-established prognostic va...

Description
Summary:Background: Primary ventricular fibrillation is an ominous complication of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and proper biomarkers for risk prediction are lacking. Growth differentiation factor-15 is a marker of inflammation, oxidative stress and hypoxia with well-established prognostic value in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. We explored the predictive value of growth differentiation factor-15 in a subgroup of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with primary ventricular fibrillation. Methods: Prospective registry of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention from February 2011–August 2015. Growth differentiation factor-15 concentrations were measured on admission. Logistic regression and Cox proportional regression analyses were used. Results: A total of 1165 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (men 78.5%, age 62.3±13.1 years) and 72 patients with primary ventricular fibrillation (6.2%) were included. Compared to patients without primary ventricular fibrillation, median growth differentiation factor-15 concentration was two-fold higher in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with primary ventricular fibrillation (2655 vs 1367 pg/ml, p
