Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diminished myocardial perfusion increase the risk of heart failure (HF) and/or all-cause mortality during 6-year follow up following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of myocardial perfusion on infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with T2DM and STEMI treated with pPCI. This is an ancillary analysis of an observational cohort study of T2DM patients with STEMI. We enrolled 406 patients with STEMI, including 104 with T2DM. Myocardial perfusion was assessed with the Quantitative Myocardial Blush Evaluator (QUBE) and infarct size with the creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) maximal activity and troponin area under the curve. LVEF was measured with biplane echocardiography using Simpson's method at admission and hospital discharge. Analysis of covariance was used for modeling the association between myocardial perfusion, infarct size and left ventricular systolic function. Patients with T2DM and diminished perfusion (QUBE below median) had the highest CK-MB maximal activity (252.7 ± 307.2 IU/L, P < 0.01) along with the lowest LVEF (40.6 ± 10.0, P < 0.001). Older age (p = 0.001), QuBE below median (p = 0.026), and maximal CK-MB activity (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of LVEF. Diminished myocardial perfusion assessed by QuBE predicts significantly larger enzymatic infarct size and lower LVEF among patients with STEMI treated with pPCI, regardless of diabetes status.
