Acute myocardial infarction, Osteopontin, Growth differential factor -15Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial infraction (AMI), is irreversible heart muscle necrosis caused by a prolonged shortage of oxygen. The most prevalent cause of AMI is atherosclerosis . It is thought to be a component of the acute coronary syndrome . In this study Osteopontin (OPN) and Growth differential factor -15 (GDF-15) were measured in patients' with myocardial infraction and healthy control people, and the results were compared.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 38 patients with myocardial infraction who attended to cardio care unit (CCU) in Al-Ramadi teaching hospital in period from August to October 2025. The results were compared with 30 healthy control subjects. About four milliliters of venous blood were collecting in gel tube from patients and controls to estimate OPN and GDF-15 by ELISA method. Furthermore, fasting blood sugar (FBS) and total cholesterol (CHO) were measured for patients and control groups.
Results: the level of OPN was significantly high in AMI patients (36.44± 25.72 ng/ml) compared to control group (1.07±0.41 ng/ml), GDF-15 was very high in patients group (431.68±132.25 ng/ml) when it compared with control group (85.89±14.64 ng/ml), furthermore FBS and CHO mean concentrations were significantly high in AMI patients (195.46±89.16 mg/dl), (167.93±53.88 mg/dl) respectively, compared with control group (FBS 97.08±13.84 mg/dl), (CHO 112.18±10.64 mg/dl).
