BACKGROUND: No-reflow after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor prognosis. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor that might aggravate reperfusion injury. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between systemic ET-1 levels and the occurrence of no-reflow as well as to evaluate the prognostic value of ET-1 in a high-risk STEMI population. METHODS: We examined 128 consecutive patients undergoing primary PCI in acute STEMI <12 hours after symptom onset. Endothelin-1 was assessed before and immediately after primary PCI. Patients were categorized into 2 groups defined by the median ET-1 level on admission. No-reflow was assessed by 3 different methods after PCI: angiographic Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow and myocardial blush grade, electrocardiographic ST-resolution, and microvascular obstruction (MO) measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The primary clinical end points were mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events. Clinical follow-up was conducted after a median of 19 months. RESULTS: Patients with angiographically (TIMI flow < or =2 or TIMI flow 3 with final myocardial bush grade < or =2 after PCI), electrocardiographically (ST-resolution <30%), and MRI- (presence of MO) detected no-reflow had significantly higher ET-1 levels on admission. At multivariable logistic regression analysis, ET-1 levels on admission were the only significant predictor of MRI-detected no-reflow (P = .03) together with left ventricular ejection fraction (P = .002). An elevated ET-1 level > or = the median on admission was a significant predictor of long-term mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Endothelin-1 on admission is associated with no-reflow and increased long-term mortality in a high-risk STEMI population reperfused by primary PCI. 2010 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
