Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy)and N -terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT -proBNP)and the severity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 129 cases of inpatient with concurrent coronary angiography whose age was over 60 years old were selected as the research object.Serum Hcy and NT proBNP level were detected,and parallel coronary angiography were administrated.Angiography was normal in 24 cases (CONTROL group),while 28 cases were stable angina pectoris(SAP group),non ST segment elevation acute coronary artery comprehensive syndrome group (NSTEACS group)had 47 cases,acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction group had 30 cases(AMI group).was used to The severity of coronary artery lesions were assessed by Gensini score and the relationship be-tween serum Hcy and NT proBNP levels and coronary angiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease severity were analyzed.Results AMI group,the mean serum Hcy and NT proBNP levels[(18.13 ±8.26)μmol/L,(450.45 ± 230.45)pg/mL]were significantly higher than those of NSTEACS group [(16.96 ±9.04)μmol/L,(300.96 ± 170.94)pg/mL],SAP group[(14.35 ±5.31)μmol/L,(130.35 ±85.31)pg/mL]and control group[(10.19 ± 3.18)μmol/L,(65.19 ±40.18)pg/mL](t =5.73、3.64;t =5.53、3.23;t =4.96、3.46;P <0.05).In NSTEACS group,average of Hcy and NT proBNP levels were significantly higher than those of SAP group and control group (t =5.06,3.54;t =4.79,3.25;P <0.05).In SAP group,the average of Hcy and NT proBNP levels were higher than those in the control group (t =5.89,4.23;P <0.05).The levels of serum Hcy and NT -proBNP in patients with cor-onary artery stenosis,double vessel disease and single vessel disease were(16.13 ±7.26)mol/L,(7.29 ±14.35)mol/L, (12.67 ±6.48)pg/mL,(210.45 ±416.45)pg/mL and (160.71 ±140.57)pg/mL,the difference was statistically significant (F =140.25,F =13.15;P <0.05,P <0.01).The levels of serum Hcy and NT -proBNP were signifi-cantly correlated with Gensini score (r =0.342,P <0.05;r =0.962,P <0.01).Conclusion Correlation between serum Hcy,NT -proBNP levels in elderly patients with coronary heart disease and the severity of coronary artery disease and stenosis count is positive.Determining the levels of serum Hcy and NT -proBNP in patients with coronary heart disease and the assessment of the severity of the disease has important clinical significance.
