Abstract:Objective To study the changes of serum lipoprotein-related phospholipase A2 (LP-PLA2) and nonestesterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels in patients with coronary heart disease and to analyze their clinical significance. Methods From March 2015 to April 2016, 138 patients with coronary heart disease were selected as study group. According to Gensini total score, they were divided into mild lesion group (42 cases), moderate lesion group (47 cases) and severe lesion group (49 cases). According to the number of lesions, 40 patients were divided into the single-vessel disease group (40 cases), double-vessel disease group (49 cases) and three-vessel disease group (49 cases). 46 healthy persons who received physical examination in the same period were selected as control group. The serum level of LP-PLA2 and NEFA was compared in each group, and the relationship between the level of LP-PLA2 and NEFA and the severity of coronary artery disease, and the impact of cardiovascular events on follow-up for 3 years were analyzed. Results There were significant differences in gender ratio, age, LP-PLA2, NEFA, concomitant diabetes and hypertension between the different disease groups (P?0.05). There were no significant differences in body mass index, smoking, TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, Hcy, CRP and LVEF (P?>?0.05). The follow-up ended in April 2019. There were no cardiovascular events in 46 healthy subjects, 57 cases of cardiovascular events occurred in 138 patients with coronary heart disease, and the incidence of cardiovascular events was 41.30%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that different lesions [OlR?=?2.546 (95% CI: 2.001, 4.013)], different lesions [OlR?=?2.453 (95% CI: 2.000, 4.014) ], serum LP-PLA2 [OlR?=?2.453 (95% CI: 2.758, 5.346) ] and NEFA [OlR?= 4.034 (95% CI: 2.014, 5.896) ] were independent risks for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease during 3 years of follow-up (P?0.05). Conclusion LP-PLA2 and NEFA is highly expressed in patients with coronary heart disease, and their levels are closely related to the severity of coronary artery disease, as the independent risks for cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease.
