目的 探讨内皮素1与冠状动脉钙化(coronary artery calcification,CAC)的相关性.方法 连续收集2011年2月-2012年2月具有冠状动脉造影和CT结果的临床资料完整的患者424例,按照是否存在CAC分为钙化组(353例)与非钙化组(71例),分析内皮素1与CAC的相关因素.结果 与非钙化组比较,钙化组的冠心病、糖尿病、高血压和高脂血症患者显著增多(P=0.001),糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、高敏C反应蛋白和内皮素1升高(P=0.002,P=0.001,P=0.001)差异有统计学意义.logistic回归分析显示,年龄、内皮素1、高血压、高脂血症和HbA1c与CAC独立相关,差异有统计学意义.在ROC曲线下,CAC的最佳内皮素1界值为0.59(曲线下面积为0.65,95%CI:0 58-0 72),敏感性为50.1%,特异性为76.1%.结论 内皮素1与CAC有一定的相关性,可认为是CAC的独立预测因素之一.
Objective To study the correlation between endothelin-1 (ET-1) and coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods Four hundred and twenty-four patients who underwent coronary angiography and CT in Fuwai Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital from February 2011 to February 2012 were divided into CAC group (n=353) and non-CAC group (n=71). Correlation between ET-1 and CAC was analyzed. Results The incidence of diabetes mellitus,hypertension,hyperlipi- demia and the serum levels of HbAlc,hs-CRP,ET-1 were significantly higher in CAC group than in non-CAC group (P = 0. 002, P = 0. 001, P = 0. 001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, ET-1, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and HbAlc were independently correlated with CAC. The optimal ET-1 value of CAC was 0.59 (AUC=0. 65,95%CI:0. 58--0. 72) with a sensitivity of 50. 1% and a specificity of 76.1%. Conclusion ET-1 is correlated with CAC and can thus be considered as an independent predictor for CAC.
