Clinical research on correlation between CT-1 and cardiac function in patients with diabetic cardiopathy / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the eorrelation between the plasma cardiotrophin-1(CT-1)level and cardiac function of patients with diabetic cardiopathy.Methods Using the Biotin-StreptAvidin-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(BSA-ELISA),the level of plasma CT-1 jn 35 normal controls,40 patients with type 2 diabetes and 60 patients with diabetic cardiopathy was measured.The relation to heart function was observed.Results The difference of plasma CT-1 level in the three groups was significant(all P＜0.05).The level of plasma CT-1 in diabetic cardiopathy group was apparently higher than that of type 2 diabetes group and normal controls(all P＜0.01);The level in type 2 diabetes group was significantly higher than that of normal controls(P＜0.01).The level of plasma CT-1 elevated with the worsening of heart failure(NYHA classification).The level of plasma CT-1 was correlated with EF(r=0.669,P＜0.01);LAD(r=0.528,P＜0.01);PVE(r=0.502,P＜0.01);CK-MB(r=0.312,P＜0.01);TG(r=0.187,P＜0.05);DBP(r=0.158,P＜0.05)o Stepwise regression analysis revealed that EF and LAD were the most significant agents affecting the plasma CT-1.Conclusion The plasma CT-1 level could reflect the state of cardiac function of diabetic cardiopathy patient,it could help to diagnose diabetic cardiopathy earlier.
