The goal of the present study was to investigate the association of MCP-1 levels with myocardial perfusion and prognosis in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing pPCI. Consecutive pPCI patients (n = 192) were assigned to tertiles according to their admission serum MCP-1 levels. Angiographic no-reflow, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade, myocardial blush grade, and ST-segment resolution were assessed. Mortality and major adverse cardiac events were evaluated during hospitalization and at the 3-year clinical follow-up visit. Failure of ST resolution was associated with greater admission MCP-1 levels. The risk of no-reflow (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow <= 2 or Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow 3 with final myocardial blush grade <= 2 after pPCI and ST resolution <30%) increased as the admission MCP-1 increased. The 3-year mortality increased as the MCP-1 level increased (8% vs 22% vs 28% for the 3 tertiles, p <0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that MCP-1 levels at admission are a significant independent correlate of 3-year mortality in patients with no-reflow as detected by myocardial blush grade. A receiver operating characteristics analysis identified an optimum cut point of >= 254 pg/ml, which was associated with a negative predictive value of 95% in association with 1-year mortality. In conclusion, the plasma MCP-1 levels at admission are independently associated with the development of no-reflow and 3-year mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing pPCI.
