Insights
Patients with myocardial ischemia show lower heart rate variability and increased inflammatory markers like CRP, IL-6, and ET-1. Monitoring these markers aids in assessing micro-inflammation and endothelial function in coronary heart disease patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biochemistry
- Medical Diagnostics
Background:
- Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a significant global health concern.
- Myocardial ischemia, a common complication of CHD, impacts cardiac function.
- Inflammatory markers and endothelial function are implicated in CHD pathogenesis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG) findings and serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Endothelin-1 (ET-1) in patients with CHD.
- To assess the association between these biomarkers and the presence of myocardial ischemia.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 80 patients with CHD was analyzed.
- Patients were categorized into groups with and without myocardial ischemia based on coronary angiography.
- Dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG) parameters and serum levels of CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 were measured.
- Pearson correlation analysis and heatmap analysis were employed.
Main Results:
- Patients with myocardial ischemia exhibited significantly lower DCG indexes (SDNN, SDANNI, rMSSD, PNN50) compared to those without ischemia.
- CRP and IL-6 showed a significant negative correlation with all measured DCG indexes.
- ET-1 demonstrated a significant negative correlation with rMSSD and PNN50.
- IL-6 displayed the most pronounced differences and strongest correlations with DCG indexes.
Conclusions:
- Myocardial ischemia in CHD patients is associated with reduced heart rate variability and elevated inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-6) and ET-1.
- Monitoring CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 levels in patients with decreased heart rate variability is recommended for evaluating micro-inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
Abstract:
This study aimed to observe the relationship between dynamic electrocardiogram and CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 expression in individuals with myocardial ischemia and Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). For this purpose, from January 2021 to December 2022, 80 patients with CHD were admitted to the hospital to determine the presence of myocardial ischemia according to coronary angiography. The individuals were separated into a myocardial ischemia group and a no myocardial ischemia group. Dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG), serum CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 were used in the two groups, respectively. The association between dynamic electrocardiogram indexes and serum CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 levels was discovered using a Pearson correlation analysis. Results showed that the SDNN, SDANNI, rMSSD and PNN50 of Patients with Myocardial Ischemia (PWMI) were lower than individuals with CHD without myocardial ischemia (P<0.05). CRP and IL-6 were negatively correlated with SDNN, SDANNI, rMSSD and PNN50 (P<0.001). ET-1 had a bad relationship with rMSSD and PNN50 (P<0.001). Correlation heat map analysis showed that the color difference of IL-6 was the most obvious between PWMI and Patients Without Myocardial Ischemia (POMI), and IL-6 was more strongly correlated with dynamic electrocardiogram-related indexes of myocardial ischemia. In individuals with CHD myocardial ischemia, there is a negative connection between the DCG index and the production of the inflammatory cytokines CRP, IL-6, and ET-1. In conclusion, CRP, IL-6, and ET-1 levels should be monitored in patients with decreased heart rate variability, so as to further determine the level of micro-inflammation and endothelial function.
