Abstract:
Objective The extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy ( CSWT ) can promote angiogenesis in ischemic myo-cardium and improve myocardial perfusion , but its mechanisms remain to be clarified .This study aimed to explore the effects of CSWT on the endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), vascular endothe-lial growth factor ( VEGF) and Interleukin-8 ( IL-8) as well as its re-lieving effect on angina pectoris in patients with coronary heart dis-ease. Methods After Dobutamine stress echocardiography ( DSE) and 99 mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) at rest and un-der stress, 25 patients with coronary heart disease underwent 9 three-month cycles of CSWT .Before and after the treatment , we obtained the results of 6-min walk test, NYHA cardiac function grades , CCS angina pectoris classes, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores, doses of nitroglycerin administered , left ventricular diastolic di-ameter ( LVDD) , and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) .We evaluated myocardial perfusion and myocardial contractile function using MPI and the peak systolic strain rate (PSSR) at rest and under stress, respectively. Results After CSWT, the numbers of EPCs and EPC-CFUs cultured in vitro were significantly increased as compared with the baseline (34.52±6.58 vs 19.56±4.28, P<0.01;12.44±2.66 vs 5.04±1.90, P<0.01), and so was that of the circulating EPCs in the peripheral blood ([904.73±94.77] vs [815.68±101.08] /mL, P<0.05), the levels of VEGF and IL-8 (155.29±23.6 vs 122.26±18.85, P<0.01;149.37±46.51 vs 21.86± 5.96, P<0.01), the distance of 6-min walk (P<0.01), NYHA cardiac function grades (P<0.01), CCS angina pectoris classes (P<0.01), SAQ scores (P<0.01), doses of nitroglycerin administered (P<0.01), and MPI scores at rest and under stress (2.16±0.16 vs 1.04±0.19, P<0.01;1.40±0.16 vs 0.80±0.16, P<0.01), but no statistically significant differences were observed in LVDD and LVEF before and after treatment (P>0.05).The PSSR showed no significant changes at rest (1.21±0.62 vs 1.04±0.43, P>0.05) but remark-ably increased under stress after CSWT (2.02±1.00 vs 1.35±0.66, P<0.01). Conclusion CSWT can up-regulate the expressions of VEGF and IL-8 and improve the function of EPCs in the peripheral blood , and thus plays an important role in relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris , promoting cardiac function and enhancing exercise tolerance in patients with coronary heart disease .
