Relationship of serum chemokine RANTES content with degree of inflammation and myocardial injury in patients with acute coronary syndrome

摘要

Objective:To detect serum chemokine RANTES content in patients with acute coronary syndrome and analyze its relationship with degree of inflammation and myocardial injury. Methods:116 cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated in our hospital from July 2012 to July 2014 were chosen as study group and divided into low-risk group (48 cases), moderate-risk group (33 cases) and high-risk group (35 cases) according to risk stratification; 109 cases of healthy people receiving physical examination during the same period were enrolled in healthy control group. Serum RANTES contents as well as levels of inflammatory cytokines and myocardial injury indicators in all groups were compared and the correlation was further analyzed.Results:Serum RANTES contents as well as levels of inflammatory factors and myocardial injury markers in ACS patients were all significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05), and with the increase of coronary risk stratification, serum RANTES contents as well as levels of inflammatory factors and myocardial injury markers further rose (P<0.05); serum RANTES contents in ACS patients were positively correlated with levels of inflammatory cytokines and myocardial injury indicators.Conclusion: Increased levels of serum RANTES is one of the important factors contributing to the occurrence of ACS; it is positively correlated with levels of inflammatory cytokines and severity of myocardial injury in patients, and can guide clinical treatment and judge prognosis.
