Background: Circulating ketone bodies (KB) are increased in patients with heart failure, corresponding with increased utilization of KB as a cardiac fuel. Whether circulating KB are increased in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and whether this is associated with infarct size is unknown. Methods: KB were measured in 379 non-diabetic participants of the Glycometabolic Intervention as Adjunct to Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (GIPS) III trial (Clinicaltrial.gov Identifier: NCT01217307). Non-fasting plasma concentrations of the KB beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, acetone were measured at presentation, 24 hours and 4 months after STEMI presentation using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Associations of circulating KB with myocardial infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (both detected with MRI at 4 months after STEMI) were determined using multivariable linear regression analyses. Results: Circulating KB were higher at baseline (total KB 520 [315-997](median [IQR], μmol/L), compared to 206 [174-246] at 24 hours and 166 [143-201] at 4 months ( P <0.001 for all)). KB at 24 hours were positively associated with enzymatic infarct size, HbA1C and beta-blocker use. KB at 24 hours were independently associated with MRI outcomes at 4 months. Higher KB was associated with larger myocardial infarct size (total KB: standardized β=0.17, 95%-confidence interval (CI) (0.04-0.31), P =0.012) and lower ejection fraction (standardized β=-0.15, 95%-CI (-0.29- -0.009), P =0.037). Conclusion: Circulating KB are increased in patients with STEMI and are independently associated with myocardial infarct size and left ventricular function after 4 months of follow-up. The increase in circulating KB may reflect maladaptive changes of myocardial metabolism during the acute phase.

Time To Peak

The influence of streptokinase (SK) on myocardial infarct size and left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction was investigated. 21 patients with myocardial infarction received SK (SK-group), 27 patients underwent conventional therapy (C-group). In both groups therapy started within 8 hours after onset of chest pain. In the SK-group initially 250 000 IU were administered intravenously, followed by a maintenance dose of 100 000 IU/h, lasting 15 hours. Blood samples at 8 hours intervals were collected for 3 days for serial CPK-analysis to calculate infarct size (I=∫f(t)×dt×K×bw). M-mode echocardiography was taken before start of t her a py and after 15, 24, 48 and 72 hours. AOP and heart rate were recorded continuously. Infarct size was 47±12g in the SK-group and 84±25g in the C-group (p<0.05). The average time to peak blood CPK-activity was 24 hours in the SK-group and 40 hours in the C-group. Peak CPK-level was significantly higher (p<0.5) in the SK-group (841±160U/l) than in the C-group (532±13 8 U / l ) . In 16 patients of the SK-group short periods of ventricular tachycardia were recorded during the period of fibrinolysis. Before therapy all patients showed abnormal motion of the posterior left ventricular wall and/or the interventricular septum, detected by echocardiography. 14 patients showed after fibrinolysis an improved or normalized motion.The results indicate that early fibrinolysis may reopen the occluded coronary artery. Reperfusion of the ischemic perfusion area may salvage jeo pardized myocardium, therefore infarct size was reduced and ventricular function improved.
