Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation of serum homocysteine,high sensitive C reactive protein(hs-CRP) and acute coronary syndrome(ACS) in young and middle aged patients.Methods A total of 142 in young and middle age ACS patients who received coronary angiography and hospitalized in Tianjin Chest Hospital were included. The patients were divided into two groups, acute myocardial infarction(AMI) group (n=61),and unstable angina (UAP) group (n=81). A normal control group was selected (n=60). Serum homocysteine,hs-CRP were tested for all subjects. The correlation of serum homocysteine,hs-CRP and ACS were analyzed.Results Serum homocysteine and hs-CRP in AMI group were significantly different from those of normal control and UAP group (P<0.05).There were no significant differences between UA group and normal control group. Serum homocysteine and hs-CRP were both significantly correlated with Gensini score (r=0.17,0.26,P<0.05). Logistic analysis indicated the relationship between homocysteine and ACS.Conclusion Serum homocysteine and hs-CRP correlates significantly with ACS in young and middle age patients.They can provide reference value for the evaluation of coronary artery disease.

Key words: acute coronary syndrome, cysteine, C-reactive protein, young and middle-aged
