| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Our previous study showed that visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin (vaspin) was an independent predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD). Further, plasma vaspin levels in patients with unstable angina pectoris were lower than those in patients with stable angina pectoris. In this study, we investigated the prognostic relevance of plasma vaspin levels in patients with CAD and non-CAD. METHODS: It was a retrospective observational study. A total of 197 patients with chest pain were enrolled, of which 88 patients with CAD and 109 patients with non-CAD were confirmed by angiography. Plasma vaspin levels and clinical parameters were measured at baseline. Incidence of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) was determined on follow-up. RESULTS: One hundred eighty-nine patients were successfully followed up for 5 years, of which 63 patients experienced MACEs. Patients with low vaspin levels (0.385 ng/mL) (42.55% vs. 24.21%, respectively; P=0.007). In both CAD and non-CAD groups, patients with high vaspin levels showed improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction. Kaplan Meier survival curves showed that patients with low vaspin levels had an obviously higher timing of incidence of MACE in the whole population (P=0.006) and in the non-CAD subgroup (P=0.009); however, the trend was not significant in the CAD subgroup. On multivariate analyses, plasma vaspin level was found to be an independent predictor of MACE, particularly in the non-CAD group. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma vaspin may be a useful biomarker for prediction of MACE in patients with chest pain. |
