Abstract:

Objective To explore the relationship between clinical features, peripheral microcirculatory and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods Totally 220 CHD patients admitted to our hospital from March 2016 to March 2021 were assigned into mild and moderate group (n=142) and severe and extremely severe group (n=78). The data of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypertension on admission were collected; the indicators of the two groups were measured on day 1 admission, including folic acid (FA), vitamin B12 (VB12), total bilirubin (TBIL), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). The rewarming test of finger skin was used to measure peripheral microcirculatory; the predictive value of FA, VB12, TBIL, TC, LDL-C, RT for severe and extremely severe CAD in CHD patients was analyzed according to receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve by comparing the basic data, laboratory index, finger rewarming time (RT) of two groups. The different single factors were included in the Logistic model and quantified to determine the risk factors of severe and extremely severe CAD in CHD patients.Results Compared with mild and moderate group, the proportion of patients with age≥60 and hypertension in severe and extremely severe group was significantly increased; FA, VB12 and TBIL in severe and extremely severe group were significantly decreased; TC, LDL-C and RT were obviously higher; and with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The areas under curve (AUC) of FA, VB12, TBIL, TC, LDL-C and RT in predicting in the pathogenesis of severe and extremely severe CAD in CHD patients were 0.931, 0.732, 0.869, 0.849, 0.775 and 0.967, respectively (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of severe and extremely severe CAD in CHD patients were age≥60 years old, hypertension, FA≤6.555 μg/L, VB12≤268.295 ng/L, TBIL≤10.015 μmol/L, TC≥5.015 mmol/L, LDL-C≥2.680 mmol/L, RT≥405.240 s.Conclusion Patients with age≥60 years old and hypertension are more likely to have severe and extremely severe CAD. The levels of FA, VB12, TBIL, TC, LDL-C and peripheral microcirculatory are closely correlated with severity of CAD, which can be used to evaluate the severity of patients.
