Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the levels of C reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin(IL)-6 in patients with myocardial infarction(MI)and their association with cardiac function.Methods:We enrolled 140 MI patients ad-mitted to Sanya Harbin Medical University Hongsen Hospital Co.,Ltd between January 2020 and December 2022,as MI group.According to coronary stenotic severity,they were divided into mild group(n=62),moderate group(n=41)and severe group(n=37),and 75 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination simultaneously were selected as control group.Serum CRP,IL-6,cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnⅠ)and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB)levels were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer,and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)was assessed by echocardiography.Above-mentioned indexes were compared between MI group and control group,and among groups of different coronary disease severity.Pearson/Spearman correlation was used to analyze the asso-ciation of serum CRP and IL-6 levels with Gensini score,cTnⅠ,CK-MB levels,and LVEF in MI patients.Diag-nostic value of serum CRP and IL-6 levels for MI was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results:Compared with participants in control group,those in MI group had significant higher serum CRP,IL-6,cTnⅠ and CK-MB,and significant lower LVEF(P＜0.001 all).Serum CRP,IL-6,cTnⅠ and CK-MB levels sig-nificantly increased,and LVEF significant decreased in the order of mild group,moderate group and severe group(P＜0.01 all).Pearson/Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum CRP and IL-6 levels were positively cor-related with Gensini score,cTnⅠ,and CK-MB levels(r=0.496～0.646,P＜0.001all),and negatively correlated with LVEF(r=-0.530,-0.572,P＜0.001 all)in MI patients.ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of CRP combined IL-6 diagnosing MI was 0.856(95％CI 0.802～0.900),which was significantly higher than those of CRP(AUC=0.770,95％CI 0.708～0.824)and IL-6(AUC=0.793,95％CI 0.733～0.845)alone(Z=3.295,2.877,P＜0.01 all).Conclusion:Serum CRP and IL-6 levels rise in MI patients,and they are closely associated with increased severity of coronary artery disease and reduced cardiac function.
