Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the relationship between vascular endothelial function of coronary heart disease and the severity of coronary artery disease(CHD).Methods 73 patients undergoing coronary angiography were divided into two groups:CHD group(n=39)and non-CHD group(n=34)according to the result of coronary angiography.13 healthy subjects without risk factor of CHD were chosen as normal control group.FMD and NTG-MD of endothelial-dependent and independent dilatation of brachial artery were measured by using of high frequency linear-array uhrasonography for assessment of the vascular endothelial function.and the relationship between the vascular endothelial function and the severity of coronary artery stenosis was analyzed.Results A significant difference was obtained in the FMD among the CHD group,non-CHD group and control group[(4.81±2.33)%vs.(9.29±3.88)%vs.(13.58±1.80)%,F=48.012,P＜0.01).Significant difference was shown in NTG.MD among the three groups[(13.72±3.27)%vs.(15.64±2.65)%vs.(16.54±2.98)%,F=6.015,P＜0.01]and significant difference was shown between CHD group and the other two group(P＜0.05).The FMD was negatively correlated with the basdine value of the brachial artery.tlle number of stenotic coronary ateries and the severity of coronary artery stenosis(r=-0.224,-0,316,-0.721,P=0.038,0.003 and ＜0.001).NTG-MD was also negatively correlated with the baseline value of the brachial artery,the number of stenotic coronary arteries and the severity of coronary artery stenosis(r=-0.483,-0.258,-0.372,P＜0.001,0.027,0.001).Stepwise regression analysis displayed a linear relationship between FMD and the severity of coronary artery stenosis,the baseline value of the brachial artery(r=-0.012,-0.022,P＜0.001).NTG-MD was linearly related to the baseline value ofthe brachial artery and the severity of coronary artery stenosis(r=-0.032,-0.0073,P＜0.001).Conclusion The degree of damage of endothelial function of coronary heart disease is linearly correlated with severity of coronary arteIT stenosis.
