Evaluation of the relationship between the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and saphenous vein graft disease

Amaç: Bu çalışmada safen ven greft hastalığı (SVGH) ile yüksek duyarlıklı C-reaktif protein (hs-CRP) seviyeleri arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Çalışma planı: Çalışmaya koroner arter baypas greft ameliyatı öyküsü olan, önceden belirlenen objektif kriterlere göre koroner anjiyografi yapılan toplam 78 hasta (54 erkek, 24 kadın; ort. yaş 60.4±9.4 yıl; dağılım 37-78 yıl) dahil edildi. Ateroskleroza neden olan risk faktörleri sorgulandı ve tüm hastaların biyokimyasal testleri çalışıldı. Safen ven greftlerden herhangi birinde %50 ve daha fazla darlık olması SVGH olarak tanımlandı. Hastalar SVGH olan (grup 1) ve SVGH olmayanlar (grup 2) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı.Bulgular: Her iki grubun demografik özellikleri ve laboratuvar değerleri karşılaştırıldığında, grup 1’de vücut kütle indeksi (VKİ), total kolesterol/yüksek yoğunluklu lipoprotein (HDL) kolesterol, ürik asit (ÜA) ve hs-CRP düzeyleri anlamlı oranda yüksek olup, HDL kolesterol düzeyi anlamlı oranda düşüktü. Yapılan çok değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizinde VKİ, ÜA ve hs-CRP düzeylerinin SVGH’yi öngörmede bağımsız belirteçler olduğu tespit edildi (hs-CRP OR: 1.522, p

Yüksek duyarlıklı C-reaktif protein düzeyleri ve safen ven greft hastalığı arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and saphenous venous graft disease (SVGD). Methods: A total of 78 patients (54 males, 24 females; mean age 60.4±9.4 years; range 37 to 78 years) with previous history of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery who underwent coronary angiography based on predetermined objective clinical criteria were included. Risk factors leading to atherosclerosis were questioned and biochemical tests were studied in all patients. A 50% or more stenosis in at least one of the saphenous vein grafts was defined as SVGD. The patients were divided in two groups according to the presence of SVGD (group 1), and the absence of SVGD (group 2).Results: When we compared the demographic characteristics and laboratory findings of both groups, body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio, uric acid (UA) and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher, while HDL cholesterol level was significantly lower in group 1. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, UA and hs-CRP levels were independent predictors of SVGD (hs-CRP OR: 1.522, p
