Статистическая значимость различий количественных показателей оценивалась по t-критерию Стьюдента для нормального распределения и по непараметрическому U критерию Манна–Уитни, качественных показателей – по критерию χ2 Пирсона. В качестве показателя наличия связи между количественными показателями использовался коэффициент корреляции Пирсона и коэффициент ранговой корреляции Спирмена.Результаты Средний уровень GDF-15 у пациентов с ИМ составил 2,25±1,0 нг/мл. Выявлены умеренные корреляционные связи GDF-15 с уровнями натрийуретического пептида (r=0,36, p&lt;0,01), лейкоцитов (r=0,32, p&lt;0,01), фракцией выброса по Симпсону (r=-0,32, p&lt;0,01), слабые – с уровнями тропонина I (r=0,21, p=0,02), мочевины (r=0,20, p=0,04) и с толщиной межжелудочковой перегородки по данным эхокардиографии (r= -0,26, p&lt;0,01). GDF-15 оказался выше у пациентов с ИМ с подъемом сегмента ST (2,36±1,02 против 1,99±0,96, p&lt;0,05) и при наличии зон гипо- или акинеза (2,35±1,05 против 1,85±0,70, p&lt;0,05). Не было выявлено зависимости GDF-15 от наличия у пациентов традиционных сердечно-сосудистых факторов риска.Заключение GDF-15 коррелирует с основными маркерами повреждения миокарда, его уровень выше у пациентов с ИМ с подъемом сегмента ST вне зависимости от локализации инфаркта.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Aim To reveal relationships between growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and laboratory and instrumental indexes in patients with myocardial infarction in acute phase.Material and methods The study included 118 patients younger than 70 years with ST-segment elevation or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). For these patients, GDF-15 was measured by enzyme immunoassay within 48 h of MI clinical onset along with a routine examination. Statistical significance of differences in qualitative variables was assessed by the Student’s t-test for normal distribution and by the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U-test; significance of differences in quantitative variables was assessed by the Pearson’s chi-squared test. The presence of a relationship between quantitative variables was assessed with the Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.Results For patients with MI, mean GDF-15 concentration was 2.25±1.0 ng/ml. Moderate correlations were found for GDF-15 and levels of natriuretic peptide (r=0.36, p&lt;0.01), white blood cells (r=0.32, p&lt;0.01), and ejection fraction (Simpson rule) (r=-0.32, p&lt;0.01); weak correlations were found with levels of troponin I (r=0.21, p=0.02) and urea (r=0.20, p=0.04), and interventricular septal thickness by echocardiography (r= -0.26, p&lt;0.01). GDF-15 was higher in patients with ST-segment elevation MI (2.36±1.02 vs 1.99±0.96, p&lt;0.05) and in the presence of hypo- or akinetic areas (2.35±1.05 vs 1.85±0.70, p&lt;0.05). No dependence of GDF-15 on the presence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors was observed.Conclusion GDF-15 correlates with major markers of myocardial injury; its level is higher in patients with ST-segment elevation MI regardless of the infarct location.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Фактор дифференцировки роста-15</kwd><kwd>GDF-15</kwd><kwd>острый инфаркт миокарда</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Growth differentiation factor-15</kwd><kwd>GDF-15</kwd><kwd>acute myocardial infarction</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Конфликт интересов не заявлен.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">No conflict of interest is reported.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Bootcov MR, Bauskin AR, Valenzuela SM, Moore AG, Bansal M, He XY et al.
