Abstract:
Objective To explore serum Cystain C (Cys C) level in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and its relation?ship with cardiac function and ventricular remodeling. Methods Patients with heart failure (n=75) and healthy adult (n=35) were enrolled in this study. According to the NYHA classification,CHF patients is divided into NYHA Ⅱ, NYHAⅢand NYHAⅣ;CHF patients can also be divided into 2 groups base on their level of serum Cys C:Cys C>0.95 mg/L is defined as elevated serum Cys C group, serum Cys C≤0.95 mg/L is defined as normal serum Cys C group;According to left ventricu?lar ejection fraction (LVEF), CHF patients can also be divided into 2 groups:LVEF≥0.50 is defined as ejection fraction re?served group, LVEF<0.50 is defined as the ejection fraction reduced group. Cys C, N terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), serum creatinine(Scr),UREA and Echocardiography were analyzed in all groups and their correlation was studied. Results Serum Cys C level in CHF patients was obviously higher than that in healthy controls, and it increased with NYHA heart function classification;compared with normal Cys C group,Cys C elevated group presented higher NT-proBNP level but lower eGFR and LVEF (P<0.05);compared with ejection fraction reduced group, ejection fraction reserved group demonstrated lower NT-proBNP, LVEDD, LVMI and Cys C levels (all P<0.05);Correlation analysis revealed that Cys C is correlated with age, NT-proBNP, LVEF, LVEDD, Scr and UREA (r=0.411, 0.658, 0.465, 0.310, 0.552, 0.486, P<0.01). Conclusion Serum Cys C can be used to evaluate cardiac function of heart failure, and is associated with ventricular remodeling.
