Effect of Acute Myocardial Infarction on a Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with Thrombospondin Motif 13 and Von Willebrand Factor and Their Relationship with Markers of Inflammation.

ABSTRACT: Objectives:Coagulation mechanisms and fibrinolytic assembly are important components role players of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) progression. Our study objective was to see the serial variations in the levels of Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with ThromboSpondin motif (ADAMTS13) over the course of AMI and to determine their relationship with the cardiovascular risk markers and the patient's clinical characteristics. Methods:This project was done at the departments of Emergency Medicine, Physiology and Cardiac sciences of King Saud University Medical City. We studied ADAMTS13, VWF, fibrinogen, and CRP levels in 80 patients with AMI when patients were admitted; post AMI by 3-4 days and at follow-up of 3 months. We compared them with a control group consisting of 36 subjects. Results:AMI had significantly lower levels of ADAMTS13 at AMI and after 3-4 days; at follow-up the difference in levels was nonsignificant, when compared with controls. Similarly, VWF levels were significantly higher in AMI and remained high even at follow-up compared to control subjects. VWF/ADAMTS13 ratio was also significantly higher at AMI and 3-4 days while at follow-up difference was nonsignificant compared to control subjects. Regression analysis between hsCRP and ADAMTS13 showed an inverse relationship (r = 0.376, p < 0.01), while correlation with VWF was significantly positive (r = 0.376, p < 0.01), while correlation with VWF was significantly positive (. Conclusions:Increased levels of VWF and reduced levels of ADAMTS13 activity may contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction and might prove to be important mediators of AMI progression.

Project description:Backgroundvon Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers are cleaved by A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS-13) into less active fragments. Thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1) competes with VWF's cleavage site, protecting it from degradation. Low ADAMTS-13 and high VWF have been associated with cardiovascular disease and atrial fibrillation (AF).ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate whether VWF, ADAMTS-13, and TSP-1 are associated with clinical outcome.MethodsElderly patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI) (n = 1027) were followed for 2 years. Blood was collected 2 to 8 weeks after the MI for ADAMTS-13, VWF, and TSP-1 measures. The primary endpoints (major adverse cardiovascular events; n = 210) included the first event of MI, stroke, heart failure hospitalization, coronary revascularization, and all-cause death. Total mortality was also registered (n = 56). The secondary endpoint was new-onset AF (n = 43).ResultsConcentrations of VWF, ADAMTS-13, and TSP-1 did not intercorrelate. The risk of major adverse cardiovascular events was altered in patients with VWF ≥ median (hazard ratio [HR], 1.4; 95% CI, 1.0-1.8; P = .03) and ADAMTS-13 ≥ median (HR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.5-0.9; P = .02); however, it was not significant in adjusted models. VWF and ADAMTS-13 were significantly associated with total mortality, with a HR of 2.7 (95% CI, 1.6-4.6; P < .001) for VWF (Q4 vs. Q1-Q3) and HR of 0.3 (95% CI, 0.2-0.5; P < .001) for ADAMTS-13 (Q2-4 vs. Q1). The associations persisted in multivariable analysis, but the significance disappeared for VWF after correcting for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. The risk of new-onset AF was lower in patients with VWF ≥ median (HR, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3-1.0; P = .04]), and this was still significant after adjustments.ConclusionAlthough low ADAMTS-13 predicted death, the cardiovascular risk associated with VWF and ADAMTS-13 was weaker than previously reported. Low VWF is associated with new-onset AF and needs further research.
