Abstract:
Objective To assess the clinical features and risk factors of coronary heart disease(CHD)in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods The clinical data of 32 lupus patients with CHD and 64 age and sex-matched lupus patients without CHD from a total of 1792 in-patients with lupus from January 1994 to December 2008 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The traditional risk factors of atherosclemsis as well as their association with the characteristics of lupus were evaluated and compared between the two group of patients.Results The average age of CHD group was(51±12)years with an average disease duration of((8±6) years、.The most common coronary events were acute myocardial infaretio(53%)and non-stable,angina[34%).Among the 12 patients who accepted coronary angiography or computed tomography scan of coronary artery,11 patients had significant atheroselerosis lesions and 1 had thrombosis in coronary arteries.Their atheroselerosis lesions were severe,which manifested as diffuse stenosis and severe calcification.Compared to the control group,the CHD group patients had more traditional risk factors[(3.9±1.8)vs(2.0±1.6),P<0.01 j as well as higher prevalence of hypertension,hyperlipidemia,postmenopausal and smoking(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the CHD group patients had longer SLE duration[12.0(6.3~19.8)vs 2.0[O.8～9.0)years,P<0.01)J,higher C3 level[(750±364)vs(598±267)mg/L,P<0.05]and higher totalprednisone dose[28.8(0~49.8)vs 24.0(0~24.6)g,P<0.05]compared to patients without CHD.No significant differences were found in auto-antibodies,SLE disease activity,organ damage,average Drednisone dose and cyclophosI,hamide usage between the two groups of patients.Multi-variate analysls showed more traditional risk factors(OR:1.62)and longer SLE duration(OR=1.09)Were independent predictors of CHD.Condusion Atherosclerosis is a common pathological change of coronary in lupus patients with CHD.Traditional risk flactors of atherosclerosis and lupus duration are identified to be the independent risk factors of CHD in SLE patients.Early interventions for traditional risk factors and appropriate control of lupus arerecommended.
