Association between activities of SOD, MDA and Na-K-ATPase in peripheral blood of patients with acute myocardial infarction and the complication of varying degrees of arrhythmia.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the changes of ambulatory electrocardiography and peripheral blood SOD, MDA and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with arrhythmia.

METHODS

From January 2012 to March 2015, 135 cases AMI complicated with arrhythmia in our hospital were divided into 2 groups: 70 cases in the AMI uncomplicated with arrhythmia and 65 cases in the AMI complicated with arrhythmia. 62 cases volunteers accepted physical examination in our hospital in the same period were collected as the control group. 24 hour-electrocardiogram detected by ambulatory electrocardiogram (AECG), SOD and MDA in peripheral blood detected by diagnostic reagent kit and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes in peripheral blood detected by malachite green Kit Method phosphate determination method were collected. ROC curve was used to evaluate the prognostic value of SOD, MDA and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes in AMI patients.

RESULTS

Compared with the control group, the patients had unusual ambulatory electrocardiography had increased (P <0.05), peripheral blood SOD and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes had decreased, peripheral blood MDA had increased in 2 AMI groups (P <0.05). Compared with AMI uncomplicated with arrhythmia group, the patients had unusual ambulatory electrocardiography had increased (P <0.05), peripheral blood SOD and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes had decreased, peripheral blood MDA had increased in AMI complicated with arrhythmia group (P <0.05). Among 135 cases AMI patients, 120 (88.9%) survived and 15 (11.1%) died, of whom 11 cases were AMI complicated with arrhythmia group, 4 cases were AMI uncomplicated with arrhythmia group. Compared with the AMI uncomplicated with arrhythmia group, the dead patients were more in the AMI complicated with arrhythmia group (c2 = 4.287, P = 0.038). Compared with the survival group, the SOD and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes were significantly lower (P <0.05) and MDA significantly higher (P <0.05) in the death group. The area under the ROC curve of SOD, MDA and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes were 0.958, 0.954 and 0.993 respectively, and the cut-off values were 30.66 ng/ml, 576.70 nmol/ml and 57.42 nmol/mgh, respectively.

CONCLUSION

Ambulatory electrocardiography has a close relationship with the peripheral blood SOD, MDA and Na+-K+-ATP enzymes in AMI patients complicated with arrhythmia, which might predict AMI condition.
