Short-term predictive value of sST2 in patients with STEMI following primary PCI: a prospective observational study by Shan Huang, Lu-Jiao Yu, Guang-Feng Sun, Zi-Xin Zhang

“…Abstract Aim The objective of this study was to investigate the level of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to provide a new biomarker for clinical management and prognosis assessment. Method This was a prospective study. 148 STEMI patients following primary PCI were enrolled and divided into 2 groups by the median value of sST2 and afterwards followed up for 30 days to access the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), which were defined as cardiovascular death, heart failure and recurrent MI. …”
