Abstract:ObjectiveTo study the changes of serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9(PCSK9)levels in patients with coronary heart disease combined with chronic heart failure and its clinical significance.Methods45 patients who met the diagnostic requirements of coronary heart disease with chronic heart failure from January to August in 2016 of Internal Medicine-Cardiovascular Department in our hospital were selected as the case group.40 coronary heart disease patients without chronic heart failure were selected as the control group.The concentration of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),PCSK9 and high sensitive C reaction protein(hsCRP)in the two groups were compared.All the patients were collected fasting blood 5 ml at the second day of admission and the case group were collected peripheral venous blood 5 ml after treatment to test the level of serum PCSK9 and hsCRP.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the level of TC,TG,LDL-C, HDL-C between the two groups(P>0.05).The level of PCSK9 and hsCRP before treatment in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group before treatment,with significant difference (P<0.05).There was significant difference in the level of plasma PCSK9 and hsCRP before and after treatment in the case group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the level of PCSK9 and hsCRP before and after treatment in the control group (P>0.05).The levels of PCSK9 and hsCRP after treatment in the case group was lower than that in the control group after treatment, with significant difference(P<0.05).ConclusionThe serum PCSK9 level is closely related to chronic heart failure,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure by promoting inflammation,and can provide new ideas for clinical prediction and search for new treatment and intervention measures for chronic heart failure.
