Abstract
Amaç: Kardiyak sendrom X (KSX), anjina pektoris ve objektif iskemi bulgularına rağmen normal koroner arterlerin saptandığı bir tablodur. KSX ile enflamatuvar belirteçler özellikle de yüksek duyarlıklı C-reaktif protein (hs-CRP) arasındaki ilişki iyi bilinmekte olup pentraksin-3 (PTX-3) ile ilişkisi gösterilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, PTX-3 ile KSX arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı. Çalışma planı: Çalışmaya koroner arter hastalığı (KAH) şüphesi olan toplam 122 hasta (58 kadın, 64 erkek, ortalama yaş 49.6±5.8 yıl) alındı. İskemi bulgusu (efor testi pozitif 50 hasta, miyokart perfüzyon sintigrafisi pozitif 32 hasta) olan hastalara (toplam 82) koroner anjiyografi yapıldı. Normal koroner anjiyografisi olan hastalar (n=41) KSX grubu ve koroner lezyonu olan hastalar (n=41) KAH grubu olarak kabul edildi. İskemi bulgusu olmayan hastalar kontrol grubuna alındı. Her üç grupta PTX-3 ve hs-CRP düzeyleri araştırıldı. Bulgular: Kardiyak sendrom X grubunda PTX-3 değerleri kontrol grubuna göre yüksek bulundu (0.46±0.16 ve 0.23±0.09 ng/ml, p<0.001). Ancak KSX grubu ile KAH grubu arasında serum PTX-3 ile hs-CRP düzeyleri yönünden anlamlı fark bulunmadı (PTX-3: 0.46±0.16 ve 0.51±0.13 ng/ ml, p=0.21; hs-CRP: 1.04±0.45 ve 1.16±0.64 mg/dl, p=0.62). Kontrol grubunda hs-CRP düzeyi (0.73±0.51 mg/dl), KSX (1.04±0.45 mg/dl) ve KAH (1.16±0.64) grubuna göre anlamlı bir şekilde düşük bulundu (sırasıyla, p=0.03 ve p=0.002). PTX-3 ile hs-CRP arasında pozitif bağıntı olduğu gözlendi (r=0.30, p=0.001). Sonuç: Pentraksin-3 yeni bir enflamatuvar belirteç olup, KSX’li hastalarda iyi bilinen enflamatuvar belirteçlerden olan hs-CRP gibi yükselmektedir. PTX-3, KSX’li hastalarda enflamatuvar durumu yansıtan bir biyobelirteç olabilir.
Objectives: Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a clinical entity that is defined as normal coronary arteries with angina pectoris and objective sins of ischemia. The correlation between CSX and inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is well established, however an association with pentraxin- 3 (PTX-3) has not been examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between PTX-3 and CSX. Study design: A total of 122 patients (58 female, 64 male, mean age 49.6±5.8 years) with suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD) were included in the study. Those with evidence of ischemia (50 patients with positive treadmill tests, 32 patients with positive myocardial perfusion scintography) underwent coronary angiography (82 patients). Patients with a normal angiogram were considered the CSX group (n=41) and patients with coronary lesions were referred to as the CAD group (n=41). Patients without signs of ischemia served as the control group. Serum PTX-3 and hs-CRP levels were measured in all patients. Results: The CSX group had significantly increased PTX-3 levels relative to the control group (0.46±0.16 vs. 0.23±0.09 ng/ml, p<0.001). However there were no differences in levels of PTX-3 and hs-CRP between the CSX and the CAD groups (PTX-3: 0.46±0.16 vs. 0.51±0.13 ng/ml, p=0.21; hs- CRP: 1.04±0.45 vs. 1.16±0.64 mg/dl, p=0.62). The control group had significantly lower hs-CRP levels (0.73±0.51 mg/ dl) when compared to the both CSX and CAD groups (p=0.03 and p=0.002, respectively). Serum PTX-3 levels were weakly correlated with hs-CRP levels (r=0.30, p=0.001). Conclusion: PTX-3, a novel inflammatory marker, is elevated in patients with CSX, similar to the well known inflammatory marker hs-CRP, and may be a promising biomarker reflecting inflammatory status in these patients.
