Abstract:
Objective To observe changes in mean platelet volume ( MPV) and investigate its possibility as a predictor and influence in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension associated with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD-PAH) . Methods 627 patients who suffered from secundum ASD were included in the study from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University Heart Center between January 2010 and March 2014. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had PAH or not (PAH group, n = 420 and non-PAH group, n = 207) . We also included 690 healthy people as a control group who received routine body check up at the same time. Examinations including complete blood count, serum biochemistry and ECG were done. Right heart catheterization examination was performed in patients who suffered from secundum ASD. Results The MPV was significantly higher in secundum ASD patients than in the control group [ (9. 4 ± 1. 6) fl vs. (8. 9 ± 1. 5) fl, P ﹤ 0. 001] . No significant difference was observed in MPV between PAH group and non-PAH group (P = 0. 268) . In univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, age ( OR 1. 401, 95% CI 1. 087 to 1. 806, P = 0. 009), RV diameter (OR 1. 101, 95% CI 1. 026 - 1. 181, P = 0. 008) and ASD defect diameter (OR 1. 064, 95% CI 1. 013 - 1. 118, P = 0. 013) were associated with ASD-PAH. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that age, RV diameter and ASD defect diameter were associated with ASD-PAH. Platelet activation exists in ASD-PAH, but this may not be the precipitating cause that contribute to the pathogenesis of ASD-PAH. MPV at admission does not predict the risk of PAH in patients with secundum ASD.
