Relationship among ABI, baPWV, plasma Lp-PLA2 level and coronary heart disease / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship among plasma level of lipoprotein‐associated phospholipase A2 (Lp‐PLA2) ,ankle brachial index (ABI) ,brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:According to results of coronary angiography ,a total of 120 patients with suspected or diagnosed CHD were divided into CHD group (n=90) and non‐CHD group (n=30) .CHD group was further divided into sin‐gle vessel coronary disease group (single vessel group ,n=30) ,double‐vessel coronary disease group (double‐vessel group ,n=30) and multi‐vessel coronary disease group (multi‐vessel group ,n= 30) .Plasma Lp‐PLA2 level ,ABI and baPWV were measured and compared among all groups .Results:Compared with non‐CHD group ,there were significant rise in plasma Lp‐PLA2 level [ (23.60 ± 13.33)μg/L vs .(36.65 ± 17.24)μg/L] and baPWV [ (1244.27 ± 127.85) cm/s vs .(1753.08 ± 284.32) cm/s] in CHD group ,P<0.01 both .In CHD group ,compared with single vessel group ,plasma Lp‐PLA2 level significantly rose [ (25.81 ± 8.97)μg/L vs .(35.03 ± 9.80)μg/L vs .(49.13 ± 21.22)μg/L] in double‐vessel group and multi‐vessel group ,and that of multi‐vessel group was significantly higher than that of double‐vessel group ( P<0.05 or <0.01 );baPWV significantly rose [ (1579.77 ± 178.05 ) cm/s vs . (1808.07 ± 272.11) cm/s ,(1871.40 ± 306.03) cm/s] in double‐vessel group and multi‐vessel group , P<0.01 both . ABI of single vessel group and double‐vessel group were significantly higher than that of multi‐vessle group [ (1.19 ± 0.08) ,(1.17 ± 0.07) vs .(1.11 ± 0.15)] ,P<0.01 or <0.05 .Conclusion:Plasma Lp‐PLA2 level ,ABI and baP‐WV are related to CHD and its lesion degree ,combined measurement of these three indexes can predict CHD and its severity more accurately ,then preventing and treating CHD should be more effective .
