Clinical diagnostic value of combined detection of IMA, D-D and MCP-1 in acute myocardial infarction

The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical value of the combined detection of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), D-dimer (D-D) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Altogether 87 patients with AMI from January 2017 to January 2018 were enrolled in the AMI group, and 82 patients without coronary artery disease were included in the control group. The serum levels of IMA, D-D, MCP-1, cardiac troponin (CTnT) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the two groups were detected by ELISA. The blood lipids of the two groups and the levels of IMA, D-D, MCP-1 after treatment were detected. The association between IMA, D-D, MCP-1, CTnT, hs-CRP and blood lipid in patients with AMI was analyzed. The values of IMA, D-D, and MCP-1 alone and combined in the diagnosis of AMI were analyzed by ROC curve. The levels of IMA, D-D, MCP-1, CTnT and hs-CRP in the AMI group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of IMA, D-D and MCP-1 in the patients with poor prognosis were significantly higher than those of the good prognosis group (P<0.05). The changes of IMA, D-D and MCP-1 levels were positively correlated with the levels of CTT and hs-CRP (P<0.05). The AUC, specificity and sensitivity of patients with AMI diagnosed with MCP-1 alone were 0.8084, 81.61 and 69.51%, respectively. Those of patients diagnosed by D-D were 0.7302, 59.77 and 81.71%, those of patients diagnosed by IMA alone were 0.7289, 58.62 and 80.49%, and those of patients detected by the combination of MCP-1, D-D and IMA were 0.9047, 58.62 and 93.90%. In conclusion, the levels of IMA, D-D and MCP-1 in AMI patients are higher than those in the control group. The levels of IMA, D-D and MCP-1 were positively correlated with CTnT and hs-CRP levels in AMI patients. Combined detection of IMA, D-D, and MCP-1 can improve the accuracy.

Automated summary

The levels of IMA, D-D, and MCP-1 in AMI patients are significantly higher than those in the control group, and they are positively correlated with CTnT and hs-CRP levels. Combined detection of IMA, D-D, and MCP-1 can improve the accuracy of AMI diagnosis.
