Objective To study the relationship between HCMV infection and endothelial function disorder and its possible role in CHD and acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Method HCMV-DNA, IgM, IgG, ET, sICAM were detected in 59 patients with CHD(CHD group) and 27 patients without CHD(non-CHD group ). The CHD group was divided into acute coronary syndrome group (group A,n=35) and stable symptom group (group B,n=24).Results The positive rate of HCMV-DNA, IgM, IgG was higher in CHD group, especially in group A than that in non-CHD group (P

Objective To analyze the changes of heart rate turbulence (HRT) and heart rate variability (HRV) in coronary heart disease (CHD), and evaluate the relationship between CHD and coronary artery disease (CAD) and two parameters of HRT and HRV, and investigate the correlation between the 2 parameters.Methods We performed coronary angiography in all 103 patients with CHD (group A), who were classified into 3 subgroups: 35 patients of stable angina pectoris ( group A1 ), 28 patients of unstable angina pectoris ( group A2 ) and 40 patients of AMI ( group A3 ), and 30 structurally normal patients with ventricular premature contraction who were included in healthy control group ( group B).The 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram was performed in all the patients, and the parameters of HRT and HRV were obtained.Results The value of the TO onset of group A was significantly higher than that of group B( -4.17± 2.75, - 3.16 ± 3.18, - 0.96 ± 2.92; - 6.30 ± 3.47 ), the value of TS of group A was lower than that of groupB(6.81±3.18,5.12±3.31,3.20±1.71;9.52±3.85) (P ＜0.05 orP ＜0.01).The values of SDNN, PNN50, and HF of group A were significantly lower than those of group B (P＜ 0.05).TO was positively correlated with Gensinies score, while TS, SDNN, PNN50 and HF were negatively correlated with Gensinies score, and TS showed the strongest negative correlation with Gensini score (r=-0.45).TO was negatively correlated with SDNN, PNN50, and HF, while TS was positively correlated with SDNN, PNN50 and HF, and TS showed much stronger correlation with HF (r=0.47).Conclusions HRT was dramatically blunted and HRV in patients with CHD was significantly lower;.HRT and HRV of group A1 were significantly correlated with Gensini score, and TS had the strongest correlation with Gensini score.TO and TS were correlated with SDNN, PNN50 and HF, and TS had much stronger relationship with HF.
