Objective: To study the effects of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on blood levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), high sensitivity C-reaction protein (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen (Fg) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups: AMI group,n=110 patients with PCI and Control group,n=53 healthy subjects from physical examination. Blood levels of VEGF, hs-CRP and Fg were compared between pre-operation and 30 min, 24 h, 72 h post-operation; the peak values of VEGF, hs-CRP and Fg were compared between the patients with post-operative MACE occurrence at 24 h and the patients without MACE occurrence.
Results:①Compared with Control group, blood levels of VEGF, hs-CRP and Fg in AMI group were increased at pre-operation and 30 min, 24 h, 72 h post-operation, for VEGF (pg/ml) as (84.7±21.4) vs (130.5±40.2) and (143.2±49.7), (107.1±31.8), (97.3±24.4); for hs-CRP (mg/L) as (1.03±0.34) vs (3.11±0.56) and (4.67±0.62), (6.42±0.72), (2.83±0.56); for Fg (mg/L) as (3.86±0.32) vs (4.79±0.52) and (5.02±0.54), (5.54±0.67), (4.11±0.44) respectively, allP<0.05. In AMI group, the post-operative value of VEGF was ifrst increased, it reached the peak at 30 min and then gradually decreasing; while hs-CRP and Fg were increased gradually, they reached the peak values at 24h time point, allP<0.05.②In AMI group, compared with the patients without post-operative MACE (72/110), the patients with MACE (38) had elevated 24h post-operative levels of VEGF as (131.7±36.5 vs 155.5±42.8), hs-CRP as (5.68±0.62 vs 6.89±0.53) and Fg as (5.23±0.60 vs 5.66±0.55) respectively, all P<0.01.
Conclusion: Post-operative monitoring of blood levels of VEGF, hs-CRP and Fg had the important clinical value in AMI patients after PCI.

Objective To discuss the characteristics,diagnosis,mechanism and the prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) induced by accessory pathway (AP).Methods The clinical,electrophysiological and echocardiographic characteristics in four cases,who were diagnosed as AP-induced DCM in the Department of Pediatric Cardiology of Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from Mar.2011 to Aug.2012,were analyzed before and after ablation.Results The electrocardiograms of the 4 patients all indicated type B ventricular preexcitation.The locations of the APs were the right-sided anteroseptum and the free wall.Dyschronous contractions between posterior wall of left ventricle and interventricular septum were demonstrated by M-Mode echo.The basal segments of the interventricular septum turned thin and moved similar to an aneurysm,with typical bulging during end-systole,which was observed in all cases by two-dimension echo.Dyschronous left ventricular contraction was shown by speckle tracing technique.All patients received successful radio frequency current ablations.Their physical activities and growth improved greatly in the 4 cases.The echocardiographic data demonstrated that their left ventricular contraction recovered to synchrony shortly after the ablation,left ventricular ejection fraction recovered to normal and left ventricular end diastolic diameter decreased to almost normal gradually during the follow-up.Conclusions Overt right-sided APs localized in anteroseptum or free wall may have adverse effects on ventricular wall motion and left ventricular function.They can even result in DCM.Dyssynchronous ventricular contraction induced by right-sided overt accessory pathway may be the vital mechanism.AP-induced DCM is an indication for ablation with good prognosis.
