BackgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are at an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The objective of our study was to assess whether cardiac biomarker like soluble ST2 (sST2) can predict MACE among ACS patients with diabetes. Materials and MethodsA total of 122 patients with ACS were included in the study. sST2 level in blood plasma samples was quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Prognostic utility of sST2 for the primary outcome of MACE which included mortality, rehospitalization due to chest pain, unstable angina, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, was assessed during follow-up. ResultsThe median follow-up period was of 180days. ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve demonstrated that elevated levels of sST2 were able to predict mortality, and MACE in ACS patients, along with increased risk of occurrence of MACE and mortality in ACS patients having diabetes. Kaplan-Meier plots revealed a significant increase in the occurrence of MACE in diabetic ACS patients (P=0.006; by log-rank test). Cox regression analysis revealed that sST2 is not an independent predictor of mortality and MACE in ACS patients having diabetes; however, high sST2 level was found to be a predictor of MACE in all ACS subjects in the fully adjusted model with a hazard ratio (HR) of 5.8 (P=0.032). ConclusionThe current study indicates that elevated levels of sST2 might be a suitable biomarker to evaluate the risk of future adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients with diabetes.
