Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasmaHDLat admission and the extent of the inflammatory response during anST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and to analyse structural HDL changes during STEMI as related to the extent of inflammation. Methods and results: CRP and IL-6 were monitored for 96 h in 45 patients with STEMI. Plasma apoA-II and LpA-I:A-II levels at admission, but not HDL cholesterol or other HDL-related biomarkers, were associated with the extent of the inflammatory response during STEMI, as indicated by the positive correlations with CRP AUC (apoA-II: F = 7.44, p = 0.009; LpA-I:A-II: F = 14.29, p < 0.001), and IL-6 AUC (apoAII: F = 6.98, p = 0.012; LpA-I:A-II: F = 6.67, p = 0.013). By multivariate analysis the plasma LpA-I:A-II level at admission was a powerful independent predictor of the inflammatory response, evaluated either as CRP AUC (F = 22.30, p < 0.001), or IL-6 AUC (F = 6.92, p = 0.012). During STEMI, the plasma concentration of LpA-I:A-II, but not LpA-I particles decreased, HDL became larger and progressively enriched in serum amyloid A; these changes occurred only in patients with a significant inflammatory response. Conclusion: An elevated plasma concentration of LpA-I:A-II particles was an independent predictor of a more severe inflammatory response in patients with STEMI.
