Abstract:
Objective:To observe influence of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT ) on ventricular remodeling and inflammation in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) .Methods :A total of 84 CHF patients treated in our hospital from Jun 2012 to Feb 2015 were selected , according to randam number table , they were randomly and e‐qually divided into routine treatment group (received routine medication ) and combined treatment group (received CRT based on routine treatment group) .Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,left ventricular end -diastolic dimension (LVEDd) ,6min walking distance (6MWD) ,levels of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) ,inter‐leukin (IL)‐6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)–αwere compared between two groups before and three months after treatment .Results:Compared with before treatment ,three months after treatment ,there were significant rise in LVEF and 6MWD ,and significant reductions in LVEDd ,levels of hsCRP ,IL‐6 and TNF‐α in combined treatment group ( P<0.05 or < 0.01 ) ,while there were no significant improvements in above indexes in routine treatment group .Compared with routine treatment group ,there were significant rise in LVEF ± [(29.42 ± 4.32)%vs .(37.16 ± 4.72)% ] and 6MWD [ (232.66 ± 40.54) m vs .(304.12 ± 51.65) m] ,and significant reductions in LVEDd [ (64.35 ± 7.81) mm vs .(57.64 ± 6.12) mm] ,levels of hsCRP [ (23.21 ± 3.45)μg/ml vs .(16.31 ± 2.02)μg/ml] ,IL‐6 [ (22.08 ± 3.82)μg/ml vs .(15.79 ± 2.09)μg/ml] and TNF‐α[ (32.66 ± 5.66)μg/ml vs .(23.23 ± 3.12)μg/ml] in combined treatment group , P<0.05 or <0.01. Conclusion:CRT can significantly reduce levels of hsCRP ,IL‐6 and TNF‐αin CHF patients ,which may be the main mechanism delaying ventricular remodeling and improving cardiac function .
