Inflammatory process plays an important role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes.
The study was undertaken to evaluate whether admission levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, interleukin-6 (IL-6). and macrophage colony stimulating factor (MCSF) can predict short-term prognosis in patients with unstable angina.
C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, IL-6, and MCSF were measured on admission in 141 consecutive patients, aged 59 +/- 10 years, with unstable angina (Braunwald class IIIb). Patients were divided into two groups according to their in-hospital outcome: Group 1 comprised 77 patients with a complicated course (2 died, 15 developed nonfatal myocardial infarction, and 60 had recurrence of angina), and Group 2 comprised 64 patients with an uneventful course.
Admission median levels of CRP (8.8 vs. 3.1 mg/l, p = 0.0002). fibrinogen (392 vs. 340 mg/dl, p = 0.008), IL-6 (8.8 vs. 4.5 pg/ml, p = 0.03), and MCSF (434 vs. 307 pg/ml, p = 0.0001) were higher in Group I than in Group 2. The MCSF levels were an independent risk factor for in-hospital events, with an adjusted odds ratio for eventful in-hospital outcome of 3.3 (95% confidence interval 1-10.9, p = 0.04), and correlated with levels of IL-6 (r(s) = 0.52, p = 0.0001), CRP (r(s) = 0.43, p = 0.0001), and fibrinogen (r(s) = 0.25, p = 0.004).
These findings suggest that among the studied inflammatory indices only increased admission levels of MCSF are strongly and independently related with adverse short-term prognosis in patients with severe unstable angina.
炎症过程在急性冠脉综合征的发病机制中起重要作用。
本研究旨在评估C反应蛋白(CRP)、纤维蛋白原、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)和巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(MCSF)的入院水平是否能预测不稳定型心绞痛患者的短期预后。
对141例年龄59±10岁的连续不稳定型心绞痛患者(Braunwald IIIb级)入院时测定CRP、纤维蛋白原、IL-6和MCSF。根据住院结局将患者分为两组:第1组包括77例病程复杂的患者(2例死亡,15例发生非致命性心肌梗死,60例心绞痛复发),第2组包括64例病程平稳的患者。
第1组CRP(8.8对3.1mg/l,p = 0.0002)、纤维蛋白原(392对340mg/dl,p = 0.008)、IL-6(8.8对4.5pg/ml,p = 0.03)和MCSF(434对307pg/ml,p = 0.0001)的入院中位数水平高于第2组。MCSF水平是住院事件的独立危险因素,住院结局不良的调整优势比为3.3(95%置信区间1 - 10.9,p = 0.04),且与IL-6水平(r(s) = 0.52,p = 0.0001)、CRP水平(r(s) = 0.43,p = 0.0001)和纤维蛋白原水平(r(s) = 0.25,p = 0.004)相关。
这些发现表明,在所研究的炎症指标中,只有MCSF入院水平升高与严重不稳定型心绞痛患者不良短期预后密切且独立相关。
