Abstract
BACKGROUND: To investigate the relationship between visfatin level in the peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and the severity of AMI, cardiovascular risk factors and atrial fibrillation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 37 AMI patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital were selected as experimental group, and 35 patients with normal coronary angiography were enrolled as control group. The general pathological data and occurrence of atrial fibrillation after PCI of all the patients were recorded in detail, and the content of indexes related to the severity of AMI and visfatin was measured. Moreover, the correlations of visfatin with the severity of AMI, cardiovascular risk factors and atrial fibrillation after PCI were explored.
