Serum zinc concentration in patients with acute myocardial infarction in percutaneous coronary intervention era.


ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There were few studies that investigated the association between serum zinc concentration and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in percutaneous coronary intervention era.

Objective

We assessed the relationships between serum zinc concentration, complications, and prognosis in AMI patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods

We conducted a single-center, prospective, observational study including 50 patients with AMI. We divided patients into two groups (High-zinc group and Low-zinc group) by median serum zinc concentration and compared two groups about clinical outcomes up to 1 year follow up.

Results

The mean age of patients was 66.2 ± 11.8 years old. Patients in the Low-zinc group had ST-segment elevation more frequently than those in the High-zinc group (96.0% vs. 72.0%, P = 0.02). All-cause mortality at 1 year was similar in both groups (P (log-rank) = 0.33). However, the lengths of hospital stay and in coronary care unit were longer in patients in the Low-zinc group than in those in the High-zinc group (15.6 ± 9.2 days vs. 11.9 ± 2.9 days, P = 0.06; 3.9 ± 2.8 days vs. 2.3 ± 0.8 days, P = 0.01). Multivariate regression analysis showed that low serum zinc concentration was associated with the use of cardiac or respiratory assist devices (adjusted odds ratio, 17.79; 95% CI 1.123 to 1216.5; P = 0.04).

Conclusions

Although there was no significance difference in mortality in Low-zinc and High-zinc groups, low serum zinc concentration was associated with longer stay in the coronary care unit, and was one of the independent predictors for the use of cardiac or respiratory assist devices.
