Inflammation plays a pivotal role in coronary artery disease (CAD). Few data from large-size studies are available on the association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and severity of CAD. Our aim was to investigate their relationship as well as their impact on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
In 2013, 10,020 patients were consecutively included. Patients were divided into three groups based on hs-CRP on admission: 0-3mg/L (n=6978, 69.6%), 3.01-10mg/L (n=1997, 19.9%), >10mg/L (n=1045, 10.4%). Disease severity was determined by SYNTAX score (SS). Their differences were assessed in SS and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, and in-stent thrombosis) among groups.
The mean follow-up period was 874 days. Patients with elevated hs-CRP were older, had more risk factors such as hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cigarette smoking. Multivariate regression analysis showed that hs-CRP >10mg/L (OR 1.49, 95% confidence interval 1.21-1.84, p<0.001), age, previous myocardial infarction, serum creatinine, and left ventricular ejection fraction were independent predictors of intermediate-high SS (>22). Subgroup analysis indicated that the relation between hs-CRP and SS was also consistent in acute coronary syndrome and its subtypes. Although elevated hs-CRP was positively associated with increased rates of MACEs (11.0% versus 12.1% versus 14.3%, p=0.006), death (1.0% versus 1.3% versus 3.0%, p<0.001), and revascularization (8.6% versus 10.4% versus 10.0%, p=0.032), it did not show any prognostic effect for adverse outcomes in multivariate regression analyses (all adjusted p> 0.05). While SS>22 remained independently predictive of MACEs and revascularization after adjusting confounders, the risks of which were increased by 56% and 68%, respectively.
Serum hs-CRP could be a useful biomarker for indicating CAD severity and could aid in risk stratification.
炎症在冠状动脉疾病(CAD)中起着关键作用。目前关于高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)与 CAD 严重程度之间的关联,仅有少量来自大规模研究的数据。我们的目的是探讨 hs-CRP 与长期预后的关系,以及它们在接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗的患者中的影响。
2013 年,连续纳入 10020 例患者。根据入院时 hs-CRP 将患者分为三组:0-3mg/L(n=6978,69.6%)、3.01-10mg/L(n=1997,19.9%)、>10mg/L(n=1045,10.4%)。通过 SYNTAX 评分(SS)确定疾病严重程度。评估三组间 SS 及主要不良心血管事件(MACE,包括全因死亡、心肌梗死、血运重建和支架内血栓形成)的差异。
平均随访 874 天。hs-CRP 升高的患者年龄较大,有更多的危险因素,如高血压、脑血管疾病、慢性阻塞性肺疾病和吸烟。多变量回归分析显示,hs-CRP>10mg/L(OR 1.49,95%置信区间 1.21-1.84,p<0.001)、年龄、既往心肌梗死、血清肌酐和左心室射血分数是中间高 SS(>22)的独立预测因素。亚组分析表明,hs-CRP 与 SS 之间的关系在急性冠状动脉综合征及其亚型中也一致。虽然 hs-CRP 升高与 MACEs 发生率增加相关(11.0%比 12.1%比 14.3%,p=0.006)、死亡率(1.0%比 1.3%比 3.0%,p<0.001)和血运重建(8.6%比 10.4%比 10.0%,p=0.032),但多变量回归分析中,hs-CRP 对不良预后无预后作用(所有校正 p>0.05)。在校正混杂因素后,SS>22 仍然是 MACEs 和血运重建的独立预测因素,其风险分别增加了 56%和 68%。
血清 hs-CRP 可作为一种有用的生物标志物,用于提示 CAD 严重程度,并有助于风险分层。
