Addition of Plasma Myeloperoxidase and Trimethylamine N-Oxide to the GRACE Score Improves Prediction of Near-Term Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Background: The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score (GRS) is an established powerful model in predicting prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, it does not contain pathophysiological biomarkers. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) are novel biomarkers of different pathophysiological processes of acute myocardial infarction, and each of them predicts risk of adverse clinical outcomes. We aimed to investigate whether the addition of MPO and TMAO could improve a GRS-based prediction model in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A prospective cohort of 444 consecutive patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled in this study. Plasm
