Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between leukocyte counts and coronary artery stenosis as well as try to find the possible cause of coronary heart disease. Methods All the 220 patients underwent coronary angiography and leukocyte counts. The Gensini scoring system was used to determine the results of the coronary angiography. All patients were allocated into three groups according to the Gensini score. 74 cases with 0-3.00 score were classified into group CHD1 while 73 cases with 3.01-32.67 score were classified into group CHD2 and 73 cases with 32.68-180.00 score into group CHD3. The distribution of leukocyte counts in the three groups underwent analysis of variance and the relationship between leukocyte counts and the Gensini score was further investigated by means of multiple linear regression analysis. [WT5”HZ]Results The analysis of one way variance showed that neutrophil, monocyte and leukocyte counts were associated with the Gensini score. Multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for many risk factors for coronary heart disease showed that neutrophil counts had independent association with the Gensini score. Conclusion Neutrophil counts were independently associated with coronary artery stenosis.
