Abstract:
Objective: To explore the relationship between blood levels of cyclophilin A (CyPA) and chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods: A total of 166 CHF patients were enrolled as CHF group, according to NYHA classiifcation, it was further divided into 4 sub-groups: Class I,n=37, Class II,n=39, Class III,n=46 and Class IV,n=44. In addition, there was a Normal control group,n=52. Blood levels of CyPA, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were examined and compared among different groups.
Results: Compared with Normal control group, CHF group had elevated CyPA (5.11 ± 2.43) ng/ml vs (2.28 ± 0.61) ng/ml, BNP (385.65 ± 184.06) pg/ml vs (90.37 ± 18.44) pg/ml and hs-CRP (11.74 ± 5.44) mg/L vs (5.99 ± 1.14) mg/L, all P<0.05. As increased severity of NYHA classiifcation, blood levels of CyPA, BNP and hs-CRP between 2 subgroups had the increasing trend accordingly, allP<0.05; while there was an exception: blood levels of CyPA and hs-CRP were similar between Class I subgroup and Normal control group, allP>0.05. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that blood levels of CyPA were positively related to BNP and hs-CRP in CHF patients (r=0.838,P<0.01 and r=0.755,P<0.01).
Conclusion: Blood levels of CyPA were elevated in CHF patients and it’s obviously related to NYHA classiifcation, which might have certain effects on CHF diagnosis and evaluation.
