Circulating ketone bodies (KBs) are increased in patients with heart failure (HF), corresponding with increased cardiac KB metabolism and HF severity. However, the role of circulating KBs in ischemia/reperfusion remains unknown.
This study sought to investigate longitudinal changes of KBs and their associations with functional outcomes in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
KBs were measured in 369 participants from a randomized trial on early metformin therapy after STEMI. Nonfasting plasma concentrations of KBs (β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone) were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at presentation, at 24 hours, and after 4 months. Myocardial infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 4 months. Associations of circulating KBs with infarct size and LVEF were determined using multivariable linear regression analyses.
Circulating KBs were high at presentation with STEMI (median total KBs: 520 μmol/L; interquartile range [IQR]: 315-997 μmol/L). At 24 hours after reperfusion, KBs were still high compared with levels at 4-month follow-up (206 μmol/L [IQR: 174-246] vs 166 μmol/L [IQR: 143-201], respectively; P < 0.001). Increased KB concentrations at 24 hours were independently associated with larger myocardial infarct size (total KBs, per 100 μmol/L: β = 1.56; 95% confidence interval: 0.29-2.83; P = 0.016) and lower LVEF (β = -1.78; 95% CI: (-3.17 to -0.39; P = 0.012).
Circulating KBs are increased in patients presenting with STEMI. Higher KBs at 24 hours are associated with functional outcomes after STEMI, which suggests a potential role for ketone metabolism in response to myocardial ischemia.

心力衰竭(HF)患者的循环酮体(KBs)增加,相应地,心脏 KB 代谢和 HF 严重程度也增加。然而,循环 KBs 在缺血/再灌注中的作用尚不清楚。
本研究旨在探讨 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者中循环 KBs 的纵向变化及其与功能结局的关系。
对一项关于 STEMI 后早期二甲双胍治疗的随机试验中的 369 名参与者进行了 KB 测量。通过磁共振波谱法在发病时、24 小时和 4 个月时测量非空腹状态下的 KBs(β-羟丁酸、乙酰乙酸和丙酮)浓度。在 4 个月时通过心脏磁共振成像确定心肌梗死面积和左心室射血分数(LVEF)。使用多变量线性回归分析来确定循环 KBs 与梗死面积和 LVEF 的关系。
STEMI 患者发病时循环 KBs 水平较高(中位总 KBs:520μmol/L;四分位间距[IQR]:315-997μmol/L)。再灌注后 24 小时,KBs 水平仍高于 4 个月随访时的水平(206μmol/L[IQR:174-246]与 166μmol/L[IQR:143-201];P<0.001)。24 小时 KB 浓度升高与更大的心肌梗死面积独立相关(每 100μmol/L 总 KBs:β=1.56;95%置信区间:0.29-2.83;P=0.016)和较低的 LVEF(β=-1.78;95%CI:-3.17 至-0.39;P=0.012)。
STEMI 患者的循环 KBs 增加。24 小时时更高的 KBs 与 STEMI 后的功能结局相关,这表明酮体代谢在心肌缺血反应中可能发挥作用。(二甲双胍代谢调节以减少急性心肌梗死后心力衰竭:糖代谢干预作为 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死的辅助治疗(GIPS-III):一项随机对照试验;NCT01217307)。
