Left ventricle remodeling (LVR) is a relatively common and unfavourable event occurring after acute myocardial infarction. A link exists between inflammation and LVR. Neopterin, a marker of inflammation and macrophage activation, is a predictor of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. We therefore sought to assess whether both neopterin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a marker of LV dysfunction and patient outcome, correlate with LVR in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
