【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the relationship between the expression of microRNA-208a ( miR-208a) and miR-
17-5p in serum and left ventricular remodeling ( LVR) and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) .
Methods 133 patients with AMI were selected from the Coronary Heart Disease Center of the Department of Cardiology,Bei-
jing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January to August 2021. According to the left ventricular
end-systolic volume ( LVESV) at the follow-up of 6 months,they were divided into LVR group ( 51 cases) and non-LVR
group ( 82 cases) ,and were divided into poor prognosis group ( 44 cases) and good prognosis group ( 89 cases) according to
whether major adverse cardiovascular events occurred at the time of 6 months. The expression levels of serum miR-208a and
miR-17-5p were detected by qPCR. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ( LVEDD) ,end-diastolic ventricular septal
thickness ( IVST) ,left ventricular posterior wall thickness ( LVPWT) ,left ventricular mass index ( LVMI) and LVESV were
examined by echocardiography. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of
miR-208a and miR-17-5p in serum of patients with LVR and LVESV at the time of diagnosis,multivariate logistic regression

analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with AMI,and the working characteristic curve
( ROC) of subjects was used to analyze the predictive value of the expression of miR-208a and miR-17-5p in serum on the poor
prognosis of patients with AMI. Results The expression levels of serum miR-208a and miR-17-5p in LVR group were higher
than those in non-LVR group ( t / Z = 7. 432,10. 964,P < 0. 001) . LVEDD,IVST,LVPWT,LVMI and LVESV in LVR
group were higher than those in non-LVR group ( t / Z = 11. 774,8. 611,6. 416,9. 676,5. 336,P < 0. 001) . The expression
of miR-208a and miR-17-5p in the poor prognosis group was higher than that in the good prognosis group ( t / Z = 5. 270,5.
376,P < 0. 001) . Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of miR-208a and miR-17-5p in serum of LVR
group was positively correlated with LVESV at the time of diagnosis ( r s = 0. 868,0. 735,P < 0. 001) . Multivariate logistic re-
gression analysis showed that older age,Killip grade ≥ III,and miR-208a,miR-17-5p elevation were independent risk factors
for poor prognosis of AMI patients [OR ( 95% CI) = 1. 058 ( 1. 005 - 1. 114) ,4. 984 ( 1. 564 - 15. 880) ,1. 051 ( 1. 007 -
1. 097) ,1. 098 ( 1. 027 - 1. 175) ],and LVEF elevation was its independent protective factor [OR ( 95% CI) = 0. 932 ( 0.
892 - 0. 975) ]. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum miR-208a,miR-17-5p and their com-
bination to predict the poor prognosis of patients with AMI were 0. 781,0. 795 and 0. 866,respectively. The value of their
combination prediction was higher than the single index ( Z / P = 2. 102 /0. 025,2. 511 /0. 014) . Conclusion The increased
expression of miR-208a and miR-17-5p in serum of patients with AMI is related to LVR and poor prognosis,and can be used
as an auxiliary predictor of poor prognosis in patients with AMI.
