Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum neuropeptide Y(NPY) level with the number of diseased coronary vessels in coronary heart disease(CHD). Methods A total of 172 patients with coronary artery stenosis ≥50% by selective coronary angiography were enrolled as CHD group. They were classified into 3 groups according to the number of diseased coronary vessels(one-vessel disease,double-vessel disease and triple-vessel disease). A total of 180 patients without coronary artery stenosis or with coronary artery stenosis <50% by selective coronary angiography were enrolled as control group. Serum NPY levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The clinical data about blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid and so on were collected. Results There was statistical significance between CHD group and control group in sex,age,smoking,hypertension and diabetes mellitus(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance for body mass index (BMI) and hyperlipidemia between the 2 groups(P>0.05). The level of NPY in CHD group was higher than that in control group(P<0.05). The NPY levels in one-vessel disease,double-vessel disease and triple-vessel disease groups had statistical significance(P<0.05). With the number of diseased coronary vessels increasing,the proportion of males increased gradually,and the proportion of triple-vessel disease in males was higher than that in females(P<0.05). The age of onset in females was older than that in males(P<0.05). Conclusions Serum NPY level may reflect the degree of CHD and the number of diseased coronary vessels.
