Abstract Background Angiogenesis participates in re-establishing microcirculation after myocardial infarction (MI). Purpose In this study, we aim to further understand the role of the anti-angiogenic isoform vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A165b after MI and explore its potential as a co-adjuvant therapy to coronary reperfusion. Methods Two mice MI models were formed: 1) permanent coronary ligation (non-reperfused MI), 2) transient 45-min coronary occlusion followed by reperfusion (reperfused MI); in both models, animals underwent echocardiography before euthanasia at day 21 after MI induction. Serum and myocardial VEGF-A165b levels were determined. In both experimental MI models, functional and structural implication of VEGF-A165b blockade was assessed. In a cohort of 104 ST-segment elevation MI patients, circulating VEGF-A165b levels were correlated with cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived left ventricular ejection fraction at 6-months and with the occurrence of adverse events (death, heart failure and/or re-infarction). Results In both models, circulating and myocardial VEGF-A165b presence was increased 21 days after MI induction. Serum VEGF-A165b levels inversely correlated with systolic function evaluated by echocardiography. VEGF-A165b blockage increased capillary density, reduced infarct size, and enhanced left ventricular function in reperfused, but not in non-reperfused MI experiments. In patients, higher VEGF-A165b levels correlated with depressed ejection fraction and worse outcomes. Conclusions In experimental and clinical studies, higher serum VEGF-A165b levels associates with a worse systolic function. Its blockage enhances neoangiogenesis, reduces infarct size, and increases ejection fraction in reperfused, but not in non-reperfused MI experiments. Therefore, VEGF-A165b neutralization represents a potential co-adjuvant therapy to coronary reperfusion. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Public grant(s) – National budget only.
