RESUMO
Resumo Fundamento A ectasia da artéria coronária (EAC) é definida como a dilatação difusa ou localizada do lúmen da artéria coronária com diâmetro de 1,5 a 2,0 vezes o diâmetro da artéria coronária normal adjacente. A relação proteína C-reativa/albumina (CAR, sigla em inglês) é um marcador inflamatório útil que tem sido documentado em doença arterial coronariana. Objetivo Analisar a associação entre a EAC e a CAR. Métodos Um protocolo caso-controle foi utilizado neste estudo. Foram incluídos 102 pacientesconsecutivos com EAC isolada sem estenose (56 homens e 46 mulheres; idade média de 60,4 ± 8,8 anos). O grupo controle era constituido pelo mesmo número de pacientes pareados por sexo e idade com artérias coronárias normais (55 homens e 47 mulheres; idade média de 61,2 ± 9,1 anos). Características clínicas, achados laboratoriais e histórico de uso de medicamentos foram registrados. Foram realizados teste t de Student, teste U de Mann-Whitney, teste do qui-quadrado, análise de regressão linear e logística. Foi considerado estatisticamente significativo p bilateral < 0,05. Resultados A CAR estava aumentada nos pacientes com EAC em comparação com os controles (32 e 16; p < 0,001). Além disso, foi verificado que a CAR era um preditor independente da EAC (razão de chances = 2,202; intervalo de confiança 95%, 1,184 - 5,365; p < 0,001). Conclusão No presente estudo, determinamos que os níveis da CAR estavam significativamente mais altos no grupo EAC que no grupo controle e a CAR estava significativamente correlacionada com a EAC.

ABSTRACT
Abstract Background Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as diffuse or localized dilatation of coronary artery lumen with a diameter of 1.5 to 2.0 times the adjacent normal coronary artery. The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) is a useful inflammatory marker, which has been documented in coronary artery disease. Objective To analyze the association of CAE and CAR. Methods A case-control protocol was used in this study. We included 102 consecutive patients with isolated CAE without stenosis (56 men and 46 women; mean age 60.4 ± 8.8 years). The control subjects consisted of an equal number of sex and age matched patients with normal coronary arteries (55 men and 47 women; mean age 61.2 ± 9.1 years). Clinical features, laboratory findings, and medication use history were recorded. Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and linear and logistic regression analysis were performed. A 2-sided p < 0.05 was statistically considered significant. Results The CAR was increased in patients with CAE compared to the controls (32 and 16; p < 0.001). In addition, the CAR was found to be an independent predictor of CAE (OR = 2.202; 95% CI 1.184 - 5.365; p < 0.001). Conclusion In the present study, we determined that CAR levels were significantly higher in the CAE group than in the control group, and the CAR was significantly correlated with CAE.
