目的探讨扩张型心肌病合并心力衰竭患者血清促血管生成素-2(Ang-2)水平的改变及其临床意义。方法采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测扩张型心肌病合并心力衰竭患者33例(心肌病组)、健康者33例(对照组)血清中Ang-2及脑利钠肽(BNP)水平,分析其水平与心脏超声指标的相关性。结果心肌病组血清Ang-2、BNP水平均明显高于对照组(P〈0.05);心肌病组患者血清Ang-2水平与左室射血分数呈负相关关系(P〈0.05),与左室舒张末期及收缩末期内径呈正相关关系(P〈0.05)。结论扩张型心肌病合并心力衰竭患者血清Ang-2水平明显增高,Ang-2有望成为一个预测及评价扩张型心肌病及其严重程度的新指标。
Objective To investigate the changes in the level of serum angiopoietin-2 ( Ang-2 ) and their clinical significance in dilated cardiomyopathy ( DCM) patients with heart failure .Methods The levels of serum Ang-2 and brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 33 DCM patients with heart failure ( DCM group ) and 33 healthy controls ( control group) .The correlation of the levels with cardiac ultrasonic indexes was analyzed .Results The levels of serum Ang-2 and BNP in the DCM group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P〈0.05).The level of serum Ang-2 negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction(P〈0.05),but positively correlated with left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter in the DCM group(P〈0.05).Conclusion The level of serum Ang-2 increases significantly in DCM patients with heart failure . Ang-2 is expected to be a prediction which is used to predict and evaluate the severity of DCM .
