Abstract:
AIM:To analyze the correlation between serum angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) levels and different stages of coronary heart disease (CHD), and to explore the change of serum ACE2 level during the development of CHD.METHODS:The control group included 85 non-CHD samples, and 174 CHD samples were divided into light stenosis (ls-CHD, stenosis degree <50%) group, moderate stenosis (ms-CHD, stenosis degree 50%~75%) group and severe stenosis (ss-CHD, stenosis degree ≥75%) group.The ACE2 level in each serum sample was detected by ELISA.The relationship between the ACE2 level and the development of coronary heart disease was explored by statistical analysis of serum ACE2 levels in different stages of CHD.RESULTS:The serum ACE2 levels in ls-CHD group, ms-CHD group and ss-CHD group were all higher than that in control group.The more severe the coronary artery stenosis existed, the higher the ACE2 level was observed.The serum ACE2 level in the males was higher than that in the females.In a single sex, the serum ACE2 levels in ls-CHD group, ms-CHD group and ss-CHD group were higher than that in control group with significant differences.Regression analysis found that sex, diabetes and CHD were associated with the serum ACE2 levels.Among them, sex and CHD were the independent factors to affect serum ACE2 levels.CONCLUSION:The serum ACE2 level of males was higher than that of females.Compared with the non-CHD samples, the serum ACE2 level of CHD patients was higher than that of the non-CHD samples.During the development of coronary heart disease, the serum ACE2 level increased constantly.
