Abstract

Objective: to dynamically study the clinical characteristics, the level of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) during hospital treatment in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Materials and methods: an analysis of clinical and laboratory data of STEMI patients during hospital treatment and echocardiography parameters was carried out. Scores were calculated on the GRACE scale to assess the prognosis of in-hospital mortality of patients. The characteristics of patients with STEMI were identified taking into account GDF-15 values. Statistical processing using the statistical software package "Statistica 10.0 for Windows". Results: clinical and laboratory characteristics of STEMI patients on the first day of the disease determined the prognosis. GDF-15 values increased on the first day of STEMI development and depended on the risk of in-hospital mortality on the GRACE scale. GDF-15 values tended to decrease during the inpatient phase of treatment. Patients with STEMI with a GDF-15 concentration equal to or more than 1200 ng/ml did not reach reference values in the dynamics of hospital treatment and had higher values of markers of myocardial necrosis, reflecting the impact on the prognosis. Conclusion: the GDF-15 indicator can be used as a marker for the prognosis of STEMI in combination with the GRACE scale assessment. High GDF-15 values during the hospital phase of patient treatment reflect the prognosis of STEMI patients.
