Correlation between lipid metabolism and coronary atherosclerosis in advanced aged patients with coro-nary heart disease / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the correlation between lipid metabolism and coronary atherosclerosis in advanced aged patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:A total of 95 advanced aged patients ,who were suspec-ted CHD and received coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital from Dec 2010 to Dec 2013 ,were selected .Ac-cording to CAG results ,the 95 patients were divided into CHD group (n=43) and non-CHD group (n=52) .Their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed ,and the correlations between blood lipids and coronary atherosclerosis were analyzed .Results:Compared with non-CHD group , the ratio of low density lipoprotein cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) [ (2.01 ± 0.65) vs .(2.38 ± 0.92) , P=0.024] significantly rose in CHD group .In CHD group ,number of diseased coronary vessel was positively correlated with triglyceride (TG) level ,LDL-C/HDL-C ,TG/HDL-C and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) , r=0.183~0.256 (P<0.05 all) ,and inversely correlated with HDL-C level (r= -0.243 ,P<0.05);coronary stenosis degree was positively correlated with LDL-C/HDL-C ,TG/HDL-C and AIP (r=0.225~0.331 ,P<0.05) ,and inversely correlated with HDL-C level (r= -0.261 ,P<0.05) .In CHD group ,total Gensini score was positively correlated with blood lipid indexes (r=0.068~0.201 ,P<0.05 or <0.01) and inversely correlated with HDL-C level (r= -0.138 ,P<0.01) .Con-clusionElevated plasma HDL-C level can delay progression of coronary heart disease in advanced aged patients with coronary heart disease .LDL-C/HDL-C and AIP are indexes evaluating severity and risk of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease .
