Abstract:
Plasma fibronectin (Fbn) was assessed daily in 9 men admitted to the cardiology care unit for uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In a control group of twenty healthy men, plasma Fbn was 0.290 +/- 0.0417 g/l-1 (mean +/- SD). In 6 hypertensive AMI patients, Fbn levels were increased to a maximum of 0.461 +/- 0.0294 g/l-1 at day five (5.5 +/- 0.84 days) and returned to the range of the control group values 56 +/- 32.8 hours afterwards. Three normotensive patients had higher Fbn results without returning to the control group range at the end of the hospitalization (0.734 +/- 0.0209 gl-1). Plasma Fbn could in part be implicated in the repair process and/or in the limitation of the cardiac necrosis extension. Moreover, it seems that a link exists between plasma Fbn kinetics and hypertension and/or normotension during uncomplicated AMI.
