Prognostic value of copeptin in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic myocardial injury leads to neurohormonal system activation and increased release of copeptin. Although diagnostic value of copeptin has been widely described, data on its prognostic performance in patients with myocardial infarction is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to asses if elevated copeptin concentration provides prognostic information for long-term adverse cardiac events in a cohort of first acute myocardial infarction patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods

Copeptin concentration was assessed in a cohort of 100 consecutive patients (39% women; mean age 63±7 years) presenting with first acute myocardial infarction and subjected to percutaneous coronary intervention. Samples were collected at the time of admission a
