THE ROLE OF BIOMARKER MACROPHAGE MIGRATION INHIBITORY FACTOR IN CARDIAC REMODELING PREDICTION IN PATIENTS WITH ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

Objective: The aim: To estimate the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor and soluble ST2 in predicting the left ventricle remodeling six months after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study involved 134 ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients. Occurrence of post-percutaneous coronary (PCI) intervention epicardial blood flow of TIMI <3 or myocardial blush grade 0-1 along with ST resolution <70% within 2 hours after PCI was qualified as the no-reflow condition.
