Potential Role of Vitamin C Intracoronary Administration in Preventing Cardiac Injury After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of intravenous (IV) and intracoronary administration of Vitamin C on the incidence of periprocedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

METHODS: In this prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial, that was conducted in Tehran Heart Center, Iran, between October 2016 and March 2017, 252 patients undergoing primary PCI were enrolled to receive either 3 g of IV Vitamin C before PCI and 100 mg of intracoronary Vitamin C during PCI in addition to the routine treatment (n = 126) or just the routine treatment (n = 126). Cardiac biomarkers were measured before and then 6 and 12 h postprocedurally. We determined the occurrence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), according to the levels of serum creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, and platelet activation biomarker (P-selectin) in a subset of 119 patients before and 6 h after PCI.

FINDINGS: In the patients who received Vitamin C, the serum levels of troponin T after 12 h and creatine kinase-MB after 6 h were significantly lower than those in the placebo group (P = 0.003 andP = 0.00, respectively). CI-AKI occurred in 6 (4.7%) patients in the study group and 8 (6.3%) patients in the control group; there was no significant reduction in CI-AKI in the study group. In addition, the two groups were statically similar as regards the changes in the level of P-selectin.

CONCLUSION: In primary PCI patients, the prophylactic use of IV and intracoronary Vitamin C can confer additional clinical benefits such as cardioprotection.
