ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation between normal level of thyroid hormone and gensini coronary scor-ing system. Methods Coronary heart disease patient who were treated with Cardio-angiography (CAG) (n=231) were divid-ed into 4 groups based on gensini coronary score. All the patients were examined with indexes include total triiodothyronine (TT3), total thyronine(TT4), free thyronine(FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). And correla-tion between thyroid hormone level and gensini coronary scoring system was studied by Spearman correlation analysis and Multiple regression analysis. Results No significant difference was found in the levels of TT3, TT4, FT4, Cholesterol(CHO) and Triglyceride(TG) between the all 4 groups (P>0.05). FT3 and HDL-C decreased with the increase of extent of coronary artery lesions(P<0.01), and AGE and LDL-C raised with the coronary artery lesions extent (P<0.05). Gensini coronary scoring system was linearly negatively correlated with FT3, HDL-C and positively correlated with age and LDL-C. Age, FT3,HDL-C,LDL-C was independently correlated to Gensini score. Conclusion The lower level of FT3 is an indepen-dent risk factor for CHD.
