Abstract
Aim. To determine the relationship between the serum level of neu-regulin-1 (NRG-1) and the severity of coronary artery (CA) atherosclerosis and clinical and paraclinical characteristics of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Material and methods. The study included 264 people, of which 220 were patients diagnosed with coronary CAD. The patients underwent coronary angiography using the Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score and echocardiography. The patients were divided into groups according to SYNTAX score: group 1 — with moderate CA atherosclerosis (≤22 (n=124); group 2 — with severe CA atherosclerosis (23-32) (n=53); group 3 — with extremely severe CA atherosclerosis (≥33) (n=43). Group 4 was represented by healthy volunteers (n=44). All subjects underwent a study of the serum NRG-1 (ng/ml) level. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using Statistica 10.0 software. Differences were considered significant at p<0,05.Results. Significantly higher NRG-1 values were obtained in the control group compared to patients with CAD (p<0,001). An inverse correlation was found between the NRG-1 concentration and the severity of CA atherosclerosis (p<0,001). A decrease in NRG-1 concentration is associated with a high functional class of = heart failure (p<0,01) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (p<0,001). The significance of NRG-1 differences between groups of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (p<0,001), angina pectoris (p<0,01), permanent atrial fibrillation (p<0,01), chronic left ventricular aneurysm (p<0,01) and repeated myocardial infarction (p<0,05) in comparison with patients without these pathologies.Conclusion. The identified correlations between the NRG-1 concentration and CAD, as well as the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of patients, makes it possible to consider NRG-1 as a reliable biomarker of CA and heart failure severity and may form the basis for the development of novel diagnostic approaches.
期刊介绍:
The most important objectives of the journal are: the generalization of scientific and practical achievements in the field of cardiology, increasing scientific and practical skills of cardiologists.
The scientific concept of publication does the publication of modern achievements in the field of epidemiology, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the results of research, national and international clinical trials.
For publication in the journal are invited both domestic and foreign scientists and clinicians working in the field of cardiology, as well as doctors of other specialties.
The magazine covers various issues in cardiology and related specialties. Each issue is prepared by Executive editor of the issue, a respected specialist in the field of epidemiology, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
The main focus of the publication — scientific articles on original research, the pharmacotherapy of cardiovascular disease, new diagnostic methods.
All members of the group of authors should meet all four criteria of authorship set forth in the ICMJE recommendations: 1) concept and design development or data analysis and interpretation, and 2) manuscript justification or verification of critical intellectual content, and 3) final approval for publication of the manuscript, and 4) consent to be responsible for all aspects of the work, and assume that issues relating to the thoroughness and diligent execution of any part of the study submitted are duly investigated and resolved.
Great importance the editors attached to the preparation of scientific papers by groups of authors at a high level, literacy, authors, and their ownership information, availability of research results not only to colleagues in Russia, but also abroad.
