Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the dynamics of serum sST2 and NT-proBNP levels and their relationship with adverse left ventricular remodeling through 6 months in STEMI patients.
Population

May aid post-STEMI LVR risk stratification; leaves open larger prospective validation before clinical use.
Elevated serum levels of sST2 by day 7 after STEMI are associated with the development of adverse left ventricular remodeling at 6 months.
