简介:目的评估低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL—C)/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL—C)比值对经皮冠脉介入(PcI)术后患者心血管事件的预测价值。方法选择急性冠脉综合征(ACS)并予前降支置入支架的患者119例,依据血浆LDL—C/HDL—C比值将患者分为3组,随访1年,评估三组患者心血管事件发生率,以及各危险因素与心血管事件发生率的关系。结果①与LDL—C/HDL—C比值较低的两组相比,比值较高组患者体重指数、女性患者百分率、吸烟人数及糖化血红蛋白、高敏C反应蛋(hs—CRP)、总胆固醇和LDL—C水平均明显升高,而HDL—C水平和他汀类药物使用率则较低(P〈0.05)。②第1组风险(HR)1.04,95%可信区间(c,)0.98-1.08,第2组HR1.16,95%C11.08-1.20,第3组HR1.27,95%C11.19~1.36(P〈0.05)。随着LDL—C/HDL—C比值的升高,PCI术后1年患者心血管事件发生率也逐渐升高(P〈0.05)。③Cox比例风险回归模型提示,LDL—C/HDL—C比值对PCI术后心血管事件风险的预测价值优于其他危险因素。结论LDL—C/HDL—C比值对PCI术后患者1年内心血管事件再发具有一定的预测价值。

简介:目的探讨急性脑卒中时C反应蛋白(CRP)的动态改变特点与临床生理指标、血生化指标、凝血指标之间的关系,了解急性脑卒中对CRP的影响。方法选择住院急性脑卒中患者55例(观察组),进行有关临床指标检查和不同时刻CRP的测定。另选在门诊的非脑血管病患者30例(对照组),测定CRP作为对照。结果观察组患者CRP动态变化显著高于对照组(P=0.0269~0.0006),发病初期CRP的变化与WBC计数、血糖、胆固醇变化显著相关,随后的增高则与年龄、甘油三酯、凝血功能、纤维蛋白原水平等有关,与格拉斯哥意识评分和巴塞尔神经功能评分呈负相关(P〈0.05,P〈0.01)。结论CRP的动态变化反映了机体损伤的实际状况,可以作为判断急性脑卒中严重程度和预后的有效指标.但这种变化会受到血液中多种因素的影响。
