Effect of coronary stenting on serum resistin levels / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the serum levels of resistin after coronary stent implantation(CSI).Methods Forty patients who underwent coronary stenting were included in this study and another 40 patients who received coronary angiography during the same period were selected as control.The concentration of resistin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(Hs-CRP) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Blood samples for measurement of resistin and Hs-CRP were taken right before the procedure and at 1 h,6 h and 24 h after the procedure.Results The serum resistin level measured at 6 hr after the procedure in patients who had received PCI was higher than that before the procedure(30.4?9.2 ?g/L vs 23.4?6.4 ?g/L,t=9.03,P0.05).Conclusion Coronary stenting causes a detectable increase in serum levels of resistin and it can be regarded as an indicator for injury caused by coronary stenting.
