Abstract:Objective To investigate the serum miR-499 level in patients with coronary heart disease Chronic heart failure(CH) and its relationship with cardiac function and myocardial remodeling in order to explore its clinical value in CHF. Methods From January 2016 to December 2018, 90 patients with coronary heart disease CHF were enrolled as the CHF group, and 90 healthy subjects were selected as the control group (C group) in the Department of Cardiology of Third People’s Hospital of Dalian. The serum miR-499 levels were determined.The cardiac function indexes, containing left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output (CO), and myocardial remodeling indexes including left atrial inner diameter (LAP), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW), left ventricular remodeling index (LVRI) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were determined. Results The levels of serum miR-499 in CHF group were higher than those in C group (P < 0.05);LVEF,CO and LVRI were lower than those in group C (P < 0.05); LAP,LVEDD,LVPW and LVMI were higher than those in C group (P < 0.05). Comparing serum miR-499 levels and LVEF, CO, LAP, LVPW, LVRI, LVMI in patients with different cardiac function grading between the two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). With the increase of cardiac function classification, serum miR-499 levels increased, LVEF, CO and LVRI decreased, and LAP, LVPW and LVMI increased. Serum miR-499 levels were negatively correlated with LVEF, CO and LVRI in CHF patients (P < 0.05), and positively correlated with LAP, LVPW and LVMI (P < 0.05). Conclusion MiR-499 is elevated in the serum of coronary heart disease patients with CHF, and is closely related to the severity of the disease, cardiac function and myocardial remodeling.
