Relationship between von Willebrand factor level and cardiovascular events in patients with stable coro-nary heart disease / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship between arterial plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:A total of 88 stable CHD pa‐tients from Aug 2007 to Dec 2008 , were enrolled ,their clinical ,coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) data were collected .Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure arterial (aortic root) plasma vWF level before PCI .Except two lost cases ,according to baseline vWF level ,other patients were divided into high vWF level group (vWF≥13.5 ng/ml ,n=43) and low vWF level group (vWF 0.05 all .Conclu‐sionIn patients with stable coronary heart disease ,level of von Willebrand factor is not significantly related to long-term cardiovascular events .
