Abstract

Objective: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. While interleukin-6 (IL-6) release is facilitating myocardial damage in AMI; nitric oxide (NO) production attenuates it. Statins play pivotal role in the recovery of endothelial dysfunction with both inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and atherom plaque stabilization. In this study we aimed to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin therapy on NO and IL-6 levels in patients with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after AMI. Methods: Fifty patients (42 males, 8 females) with a mean age of 59,7 years diagnosed as AMI with ST segment elevation were contributed to this study. Atorvastatin therapy was applied to the patients with a daily dose of 10-80 mg after PCI. Plasma NO and IL-6 levels were determined before and three months after atorvastatin therapy and their concentrations before and after the treatment were compared. Results: IL-6 levels of the patients 3 months after atorvastatin therapy following AMI showed 55% decrease from 27.09 ± 15.14 pg/ml to 11.97 ± 7.54 pg/ml (p< 0.001), and NO concentrations displayed 56% increase from 21.06 ± 7.14 µM/l to 32.98 ± 8.68 µM/l (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Atorvastatin therapy in AMI decreases IL-6 levels and increases NO concentrations. Therefore, atorvastatin therapy can be beneficial in AMI by diminishing myocardial damage.

Özet

Amaç: Akut miyokard infarktüsü (AMİ) ciddi morbidite ve mortalite sonuçları ile yaygın bir hastalık durumundadır. İnterlökin-6 (IL-6) salınımı, AMİ’ de miyokard hasarını hızlandırırken nitrik oksit (NO) salınımı ise azaltmaktadır. Statinler hem kolesterol sentezini inhibe ederek hem de aterom plak stabilizasyonunu artırarak endotel disfonksiyonun düzelmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada AMİ sonrası primer perkutan koroner girişim (PKG) uygulanan hastalarda atorvastatin tedavisinin NO ve IL-6 düzeylerine etkisini ortaya koymayı amaçladık. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya ST segment elevasyonlu AMİ tanısı almış yaş ortalaması 59.7 olan 42’si erkek, 8’ i kadın olmak üzere 50 hasta dahil edildi. AMİ ile gelen hastalara primer PKG uygulanarak atorvastatin (10-80 mg/gün) tedavisi başlandı. Tedavi öncesi ve 3 aylık atorvastatin tedavisi sonrası plazmada NO ve IL-6 düzeylerine bakılarak ilaç öncesi ve sonrası değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: AMİ’nü takiben atorvastatin tedavisine başlanan hastaların 3 ay sonunda IL-6 düzeyleri % 55’ lik bir azalma ile 27.09 ± 15.14 pg/ mL’ den 11.97 ± 7.54 pg/ mL’ ye düşerken (p < 0.001), NO düzeyleri ise % 56’ lık bir artış göstererek 21.06 ± 7.14 µM/ L den 32.98 ± 8.68 µM/ L’ ye yükselmiştir (p < 0.001). Sonuç: AMİ’de atorvastatin tedavisi, IL-6 düzeylerini azaltmakta ve NO düzeylerini ise artırmaktadır. Bu nedenle atorvastatin tedavisi AMİ’de miyokard hasarını azaltarak olumlu etki gösterebilir.
