Abstract :
BACKGROUND: Recently, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity seems to have an independent prognostic role in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. A previous study showed that serum BChE activity had a diagnostic value for chronic heart failure. This raises a question: whether BChE activity is associated with cardiac function in ACS, and if so, is this association related to the predictive value of BChE? The aim of this study was to determine the association between BChE activity with cardiac function assessed by Killip class and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to evaluate the independent prognostic role of BChE with consideration of these two indicators. |
