Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application value of coronary CT angiography(CCTA)combined with serum levels of Krueppel like factor 4(KLF4)and histone deacetylase 4(HDAC4)in assessment of coronary artery steno-sis severity in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:A total of 152 CHD patients admitted to Suzhou High tech District People's Hospital between December 2021 and December 2023 were prospectively selected.According to coronary angiography(CAG)quantitative analysis method,patients with CHD were divided into mild stenosis group(n=57),moderate stenosis group(n=49)and severe stenosis group(n=46).Kappa consistency a-nalysis was used to determine the consistency between CCTA detection and CAG in determining the degree of coro-nary stenosis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of CCTA combined with serum KLF4 and HDAC4 levels for the degree of coronary artery stenosis.Results:Compared to pa-tients in mild stenosis group,those in moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis group had significantly lower levels of KLF4 and HDAC4(P<0.01 all),and those in severe stenosis group had significantly lower levels of KLF4 and HDAC4 compared to those in moderate stenosis group(P<0.01 all).According to CCTA diagnosis,there were 53 cases with mild stenosis,53 cases with moderate stenosis and 46 cases with severe stenosis.The consistency rate with CAG diagnosis was 80.92%(123/152),which was relatively high(Kappa=0.713,P<0.001).The accuracy of CCTA in diagnosing mild,moderate and severe stenosis was 88.16%(134/152),85.53%(130/152)and 88.16%(134/152)respectively.ROC curve analysis indicated the area under the curve(AUC)of CCTA combined with ser-um KLF4 and HDAC4 in the diagnosis of moderate and severe coronary artery stenosis was 0.949(95%CI 0.901~0.978),which was significantly higher than those of CCTA(AUC=0.867,95%CI 0.802~0.916),serum KLF4(AUC=0.895,95%CI 0.825~0.939)and HDAC4(AUC=0.809,95%CI 0.738~0.869)alone(Z=2.806,P<0.001;Z=2.065,P=0.039;Z=3.552,P<0.001,respectively).Conclusion:In patients with coronary heart dis-ease,serum levels of KLF4 and HDAC4 are closely related to the degree of coronary artery stenosis.The combina-tion of CCTA,serum KLF4 and HDAC4 levels has good performance in predicting the degree of coronary artery stenosis.
