The aim of this study is to test the potentially protective role of myonectin in patients with a first episode of ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
The main questions which are assumed to be answered after study completion:
Full description
Myonectin or Complement C1q Tumor Necrosis Factor - Related Protein 15 (CTRP15) is a cytokine secreted by skeletal muscle. The participation of myonectin in the regulation of lipid homeostasis in the liver and adipose tissue has been proven. The concentration of myonectin depends on the nutritional status of the organism, it decreases during fasting and increases after feeding. In studies on mice, a protective effect of high concentrations of myonectin on the course of myocardial infarction was observed. The effect of regular physical exercise on the concentration of myonectin in the serum was also demonstrated. Abnormal function of myokines, including myonectin, has also been linked to sarcopenia, which significantly negatively affects the prognosis of patients with heart failure.
Potentially protective properties of myonectin in the case of ischemia-reperfusion injury in the course of myocardial infarction have not been studied in humans so far.
Myonectin may become a potentially useful prognostic indicator of the severity of myocardial infarction. It may also potentially become a target for a new cardioprotective therapy in patients with acute myocardial ischaemia.
