摘要:Purpose To observe the characteristics of coronary artery lesion in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and stable angina pectoris (SAP) using virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (IVUS-VH).Materials and Methods A total of 199 patients with angina pectoris were enrolled and divided into SAP group (101 cases) and UAP group (98 cases) according to clinical symptoms, ECG and myocardial enzyme level. All the patients underwent coronary angiography to determine the "criminals" vessels, grayscale intravascular ultrasound was used to measure and compare the external elastic membrane area (EEMA), lumen cross-sectional area (lumen CSA), plaque area (PA), plaque burden (PB), remodeling index (RI), plaque eccentricity index (EI) of the "criminals" vessels. IVUS-VH method was used to measure and compare the area and percentage of calcified tissue,fibrous tissue, lipid tissue and necrotic tissue in the plague components of the "criminals" vessels between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference (t=1.392,-0.345, 1.921, 0.378 and 0.857,P>0.05) of EEMA, lumen CSA, PA, EI and RI measured at the location with smallest lumen area between the two groups. Necrotic core area and percentage of lesion composition in UAP group was significantly higher than that in SAP group (t=2.361,P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (t=1.045, 1.884 and 0.787,P>0.05) between the two groups on the area of fiber, lipid and calcification. On the distribution of plaque components, fibrous plaque area percentage of UAP group was lower than that in SAP group (t=-2.418, P<0.05), while the necrotic core area was significantly higher than SAP group (t=2.602, P<0.05), there was no significant difference (t=-0.551 and 0.085,P>0.05) between the two groups on lipid and calcification area.Conclusion Necrotic core area and percentage of plaque composition in the UAP group is larger than the other group. "Criminals" lesions are more unstable and more easily to be complicated with acute cardiovascular events.%目的应用血管内超声虚拟组织学(IVUS-VH)方法评价稳定型心绞痛(SAP)及不稳定型心绞痛(UAP)患者冠状动脉病变的特点。资料与方法将199例心绞痛患者按临床表现、心电图及心肌酶学分成SAP组101例和UAP组98例。所有患者行冠状动脉造影检查确定“罪犯”血管,采用灰阶血管内超声方法测量并比较两组“罪犯”血管的外弹力膜面积、管腔横截面积、斑块面积、斑块负荷、重构指数、斑块偏心指数。采用IVUS-VH方法测量并比较两组“罪犯”血管的斑块组成中钙化组织、纤维组织、脂质组织、坏死组织的面积及百分比。结果两组在最小管腔面积处测量的参数外弹力膜面积、管腔横截面积、斑块面积、斑块偏心指数、重构指数比较,差异均无统计学意义(t=1.392、-0.345、1.921、0.378、0.857,P>0.05)。在最小管腔面积处测量的斑块组成方面,UAP组坏死核心面积明显高于SAP组(t=2.361, P<0.05)。两组纤维面积、脂质面积、钙化面积之间比较差异无统计学意义(t=1.045、1.884、0.787,P>0.05)。在斑块成分分布方面,UAP组纤维斑块面积百分比明显低于SAP组(t=-2.418,P<0.05),坏死核心面积明显高于SAP组(t=2.602, P<0.05),两组脂质面积及钙化面积之间比较差异无统计学意义(t=-0.551、0.085, P>0.05)。结论 UAP组斑块构成中,坏死核心面积更大,坏死百分比更高。“罪犯”病变更加不稳定,更容易并发急性心血管事件。
