Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the alteration of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) count in patients with non-valvula atrial fibrillation combining thrombosis.MethodsA total of 154 patients with non-valvula atrial fibrillation were divided into thrombus group (n = 46) and non-thrombus group (n = 108)in accordance with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) results.The concentration of CRP by scattering turbidimetry, D-dimer by immunoturbidmetry, left atrium diameter (LAd), fraction shortening (FS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by TEE or echocardiography were detected.Logistic multi-factors regression analysis was performed.ResultsThere were significant differences in CRP [(5.77 ± 6.37)mg/L vs (1.73 ±2.39)mg/L,P =0.003], LAd [(59.86 ± 10.70) mm vs (47.97 ± 13.19)mm,P <0.001]and LVEF[(58.75 ±8.28)%vs (64.10 ±6.75)%, P <0.001]between thrombus group and nonthrombus group.The results of logistic regression analysis found CRP ≥ 1.33 mg/L(OR 2.856, 95% CI 1.235-6.600,P =0.014) and LAd≥54.5 mm(OR 4.236, 95% CI 1.877-9.562,P =0.001) were independent risk factors of patients with non-valvula atrial fibrillation combining with thrombosis.ConclusionsCRP and LAd are independent risk factors for patients with non-valvula atrial fibrillation combining with thrombosis.Inflammation may involve with the formation of thrombosis.
