Time course of serum collagen types I and III metabolism products after reperfused acute myocardial infarction in patients with and without systemic hypertension

Abstract

We examined 55 consecutive patients successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a first acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. In all patients we performed echocardiographic examination, dosage of plasma brain natriuretic peptide, serum carboxy-terminal propeptide and telopeptide of procollagen type I and amino-terminal propeptide of procollagen type III at days 1 and 3, and at 1 and 6 months after index infarction. The hypertensive patients (group 1; n=30) differed for higher baseline blood pressure (133±4 mm Hg vs 118±4 mm Hg; P=0.03), greater LV mass index (108±5 vs 94±4 g m−2, P=0.03) and lower mitral E/A wave peak (0.8±0.06 vs 1.1±0.12, P=0.02) with respect to non-hypertensive patients (group 2; n=25). From day 1 to month 6 carboxy-terminal propeptide of procollagen type I and amino-terminal propeptide of procollagen type III increased (P<0.005 and P<0.05, respectively) in both groups, whereas carboxy-terminal telopeptide of procollagen type I increased from day 1 to day 3 (P<0.01 in both groups, respectively) and then decreased from day 3 to month 6 (P<0.01 and P<0.05 in both groups, respectively). From day 1, brain natriuretic peptide decreased in both groups (P<0.005). There was no significant difference between the two groups in values of procollagens and natriuretic peptide. Finally, LV diastolic volume and function at 6 months were similar in the two groups. Thus, in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction and LV dysfunction, antecedent hypertension was not associated with a different pattern of serum procollagen release and ventricular remodelling at 6 months of follow-up.
