Abstract:
Objective To observe the difference of sCD40L level in different subtypes of coronary heart disease,and to explore the clinical value of CD40 ligand in identification for the acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods The patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and the heathy controls in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from Jan,2006 to June,2006 were enrolled in the study.CHD group included ACS and stable angina patients.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the serum sCD40L level in three groups;t-test and receiver operateing characteristic curve were used to analyze the results.Results sCD40L level was significantly higher in patients with ACS[(2.39?0.37)?g/L]than stable angina patients[(1.89?0.16)?g/L,P0.05.The ROC curve demonstrated that using the concentration of sCD40L 2.01 ?g/L as the boundary to diagnose ACS,sensitivity of this marker was 0.91 and specificity was 0.80 respectively,and area under the curve(AUC)was 0.907.Conclusion sCD40L level which is more than 2.01 ?g/L has important significance for the diagnosis of ACS.
