Abstract
Objective: Contributing factors for the development of heart failure (HF) involve both apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Although ApoB has been linked to diverse cardiovascular risks, its association with CMD remains unclear.
Methods: A total of 145 patients undergoing cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan was enrolled into this retrospective study. Based on ApoB serum level, all subjects were classified into three groups (Group 1-3). Myocardial flow reserve (MFR) was calculated using myocardial blood flow (MBF) tested in different contexts.
Results: ApoB serum level was positively correlated to rest MBF but inversely associated with stress MBF and MFR. Following adjustment for covariates, a significant relationship was observed between increased ApoB and decreased MFR. The predictive value of ApoB was test by Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) analysis, showing an area under curve (AUC) of 0.87.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that a higher level of ApoB correlated with the severity of CMD.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
