Substantial evidence points to a protective role of adiponectin against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular (CV) disease. However, in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the role of adiponectin has not previously been studied. Consequently, the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of adiponectin after AMI in a large population of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention. A total of 735 consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction admitted to a single high-volume invasive heart center and treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention from September 2006 to December 2008 were included. Blood samples were drawn immediately before the invasive procedure. Plasma adiponectin was measured using a validated immunoassay. End points were all-cause mortality, CV mortality, and admission for new AMI or heart failure. The median follow-up time was 27 months (interquartile range 22 to 33). Patients with high adiponectin (quartile 4) had increased mortality compared to patients with low adiponectin (quartiles 1 to 3) (log-rank p %26lt; 0.001). After adjustment for conventional risk factors (age, gender, smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, body mass index, C-reactive protein, peak troponin I, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, previous AM!, multivessel disease, complex lesions, left anterior descending coronary artery lesion, and symptom-to-balloon time) by Cox regression analysis, high adiponectin remained an independent predictor of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.1, 95% confidence interval 1.3 to 3.2, p = 0.001) and CV mortality (hazard ratio 2.6, 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 4.5, p = 0.001). In conclusion, increased plasma adiponectin independently predicts all-cause and CV mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
