CORRELATION BETWEEN SERUM LEVEL GALECTIN-3 AND EARLY REMODELLING INDICATOR OF LEFT VENTRICLE IN PATIENT WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION DURING PRE-PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION

Abstract

Backgorund: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a spectrum of coronary heart disease. Early remodelling process (within 0-72 hours) post infarction can be assessed by circulating biomarker (Galectin-3), echocardiography, coronary angiography, and clinically. The aim of study is to know the correlation between serum level of Galectin-3 and early remodelling indicator in patient with acute myocardial infarction during pre-percutaneous coronary intervention. The parameters are LVEDV, LVEF, diastolic function component, TIMI flow, MBG, and presence of acute heart failure. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Sanglah General Hospital during March-May 2018. A 62 sample was determined consecutively. Results: Bivariate analysis with Spearman correlation shows Galectin-3 correlated with LVEDV (r = 0,808; p<0.001), E/e’ average (r = 0,297; p = 0,019), E/A ratio (r = 0,261; p= 0,041), and MBG (QuBE) (r = 0,647; p <0.001). No correlation was found between Galectin-3 and LVEF Teich, LVEF Biplane, LAVI, e’septal, e’lateral, and TR Vmax. Chi square analysis shows no association between Galectin-3 and diastolic dysfunction left ventricle, TIMI flow, MBG score, and acute heart failure. Multivariate analysis with multiple linear regression shows an increase in Galectin-3 has been proven associated independently with LVEDV, LAVI, E/e’ average, and E/A ratio. Multiple logistic regression shows Galectin-3 has not been proven independently with diastolic dysfunction, TIMI flow, MBG score, and acute heart failure. LVEDV is the best outcome that can be explained as its value influenced by constant, BMI, and Galectin-3 (R2 = 0,509). Conclusion: Galectin-3 correlated with LVEDV, average E/e’, E/A ratio, and MBG (QuBE). There is an independent association between Galectin-3 and LVEDV, LAVI, average E/e, and E/A ratio. Early remodelling process within 0-72 hours post infarction was happened prePCI. Anti-remodelling (including anti failure) during early phase is strongly recommended in order to prevent worse outcome in short and long term. (Indonesian J Cardiol. 2019;40:206-215)
