Coronary Angiography, Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4
Conditions
Brief summary
Increased plasma DPP4 activity (DPP4a) could predict both subclinical and new-onset atherosclerosis, and our previous study has found that the DPP4a was significantly lower in MI patients compared with patients having chest pain or unstable angina alone, and DPP4a is associated with no-reflow and major bleeding events in STEMI patients during hospital stay. As no-reflow phenomenon and major bleeding events independently associates with a worse in-hospital and long-term prognosis. One may speculate that the DPP4a is associated with long-term follow-up adverse cardiovascular events in these patients.The hypothesis was tested in this study.
Interventions
DPP4a was determined by enzymatic assays.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* consecutive patients of acute STEMI come to our department,absent of cardiogenic shock, and survival for at least 24 h after PCI treatment.
Exclusion criteria
* patients with cancer, and patients who were taking a DPP4 inhibitoror a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events | The median follow-up was 30 months | including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| non-cardiovascular death | The median follow-up was 30 months | — |
| repeated revascularization | The median follow-up was 30 months | defined as repeated PCI or bypass grafting of not only infarct related artery but also non-infarct related artery, driven by ischemic symptoms (stable/unstable angina or re-infarction) or detection of ischemia by non-invasive tests |
| stroke | The median follow-up was 30 months | defined using the World Health Organization criteria |
