Aim: Some studies have linked the present of chronic obstructive oulmonary disease (COPD) to coronary artery disease (CAD). Low grade systemic inflammation occurs in patients with COPD as well as patients with CAD. This study was designed to find out the concentration differences of hs-CRP and TNF-a in patients having both chronic obstructive pulmonary and coronary artery diseases with those having either. Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive study was conducted in 200 patients undergoing a coronary artery angiography in the Heart Institute, Thong Nhat Hospital and 115 People Hospital. COPD was diagnosed using GOLD classification. Result: Our study had shown that the levels of hs-CRP and TNF-a were statistically increased in patients with COPD, CAD as well as in patients who had COPD with CAD (p<0,05). The levels of hs-CRP were higher in CAD than in COPD nad the levels of TNF-a were higher in COPD than in CAD. In patients with COPD and CAD, there were increased the levels of both hs-CRP and TNF-a in serum. Conclusion: Systemic inflammation presents in both COPD and CAD. Key words: hs-CRP, TNF-a, coronary artery disease (CAD).

Background: The objectives of the study were to identify the causes of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and to assess the severity of menopausal symptoms as well as the impact on cardiovascular health in these patients.Methods: Authors did a cross sectional case control study with 100 cases and 100 age matched controls. Women <40years of age with amenorrhoea >4months and FSH >25mIU/ml were identified with POI. Women <40years with normal cycles were the controls. Causes were identified from medical records and menopausal symptoms were categorized using menopause rating score questionnaire. Hypercholesterolemia (≥200mg/dl), hypoalbuminemia (<3.5g/dl) and high sensitive C reactive protein (HS-CRP ≥3mg/dl) were assessed as the early markers of coronary artery disease. Statistical methods included Chi square test and logistic regression analysis. P value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: 64% of the patients were between 31-40 years. 66% of them were into menopause for <5 years. The cause was idiopathic in 62%. 91% had no or minimal menopausal symptoms. Hypoalbuminemia (6 versus 1, 95% CI 1.8-2.4, OR 2.1, p=0.01) and hypercholesterolemia (75 versus 51, 95%CI 2.5-3.1, OR 2.8, p= 0.001) were significantly high in cases. HS-CRP was not found to be different between the groups (59 versus 49, OR 1.5, 95%CI 0.8-2.6, p=0.2).Conclusions: In majority with POI the cause is idiopathic and menopausal symptoms are minimal. Hypoalbuminemia and hypercholesterolemia, markers of coronary artery disease, were significantly elevated in POI. Early screening for these variables within 5 years of menopause would reduce the cardiovascular mortality in these patients.

SummaryMonocytes play a central role in the inflammatory disease atherosclerosis. CD14+CD16+ monocytes are considered proinflammatory monocytes, as they have an increased capacity to produce proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, and are elevated in various inflammatory diseases. We hypothesized that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have increased levels of CD14+CD16+ monocytes, and that CD14+CD16+ monocytes are associated with inflammation markers. We investigated CD14+CD16+ monocytes in 247 patients with CAD and 61 control subjects using flow cytometry. In addition serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6, and Hs-CRP were assessed. Patients with CAD had higher levels of CD14+CD16+ monocytes than controls (13.6% versus 11.4%; p<0.001). Logistic regression analysis including quartiles of CD14+CD16+ monocytes showed that CD14+CD16+ monocytes were associated with prevalence of CAD (OR 4.9, 95% CI 2.5–19.1, for subjects in the fourth quartile in comparison to subjects in the first quartile). The association between CD14+CD16+ monocytes and CAD remained independently significant after adjustment for most potential confounders (OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.2-20.0). Serum concentrations of TNF-α were elevated in subjects within the highest quartiles of CD14+CD16+ monocytes (p=0.018). Our study showed that increased numbers of CD14+CD16+ monocytes are associated with coronary atherosclerosis and TNF-α. In accordance, recent animal studies suggest a possibly important role of these monocytes in the development of atherosclerosis.

Background: The balance between pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-18 and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 has been suggested to play a role in atherogenesis and in the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We hypothesized that stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients have a pro-inflammatory profile prior to an acute event. Methods : A case-control study nested in a cohort of stable CAD patients was performed. Patients were consecutively included and blood samples collected at 3-months intervals. Cases were patients who presented any vascular event (death, ACS, ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial occlusion and revascularization) and controls were retrieved from a sequential list, in a 1:2 ratio, after 22 ± 9 months of follow-up. Serum hs-CRP, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-18 were measured in two serial samples, collected before the events. Results : Among 176 CAD patients, 42 developed a vascular event (cases) and 76 were selected to the control group. Serum levels of IL-18 were significantly higher among cases (411 ± 185 vs. 340 ± 133pg/ml; p = 0.037). Hs-CRP levels (5.4 vs. 5.1mg/l), IL-10 (7.4 vs. 7.2pg/ml), and IL-18/IL-10 ratio (66 vs. 61) were not different between cases and controls in both samples. Cox regression analysis showed that IL-18 levels (HR 1.75 (0.89 –3.5;p = 0.11) and IL-18/IL-10 ratio (HR 1.97; 1.0 –3.8) were predictors of worse prognosis (Figure ). Conclusion: In this study, IL-18 and IL-18/IL-10 ratio were associated with clinical outcomes and support the hypothesis that the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may be an important determinant of vascular events in stable CAD patients.

Introduction: Prognostication of outcome in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is currently based on clinical characteristics and biomarkers indicating dysglycemia, dyslipidemia, renal dysfunction and possibly cardiac biomarkers. Hypothesis: We assessed the incremental prognostic value of biomarkers of inflammation in the Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque By Initiation of Darapladib Therapy (STABILITY) trial. Methods: In STABILITY, 15,828 patients with chronic CAD on optimal medical treatment were randomized to treatment with darapladib or placebo. Serum levels of hs-C-reactive protein (CRP) and Interleukin (IL)-6 were measured at randomization in 14,373 and 4733 patients, respectively. Centrally adjudicated outcome events were accumulated during a median of 3.7 years follow-up. The associations between levels of the biomarkers and outcomes were evaluated by multivariable Cox regression. Results: The impact of biomarker levels at baseline in relation to the composite endpoint, MACE (major adverse cardiovascular event), of cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and its individual components are presented in the Table. Both hs-CRP and IL-6 provided strong prognostic information in addition to clinical predictors for outcomes of MACE, CV death and MI, but not for stroke. Conclusions: In conclusion, the cardiac biomarkers hs-CRP and IL-6, provided important complementary prognostic information on the risk of CV mortality and MI, but not for stroke in patients with stable CAD on optimal medical treatment.

Abstract Background It has been reported that coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by inflammation and non-obstructive CAD (NOCAD) increases the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) compared with ones with normal or near-normal coronary arteries (NNCA), even is similar to obstructive CAD (OCAD). We hypothesized that elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be linked to CVEs in those patients with NOCAD. Purpose To investigate the predictive role of hs-CRP in patients with NOCAD. Methods Of 7,746 consecutive patients with angina-like chest pain admissions, 4,662 eligible patients were enrolled who received coronary artery angiography (CAG) and followed up for the CVEs comprising all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and late revascularization. According to the results of CAG, the patients were classified as NNCA group (<20% stenosis, n=698, 15.0%), NOCAD group (20–49% stenosis, n=639, 14.3%), and OCAD group (≥50% stenosis, n=3325, 70.7%). They were further subdivided into 3 groups according to baseline hs-CRP levels (<1, 1–3 and >3 mg/L). Proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of CVEs in all patients enrolled. Results A total of 338 patients (7.3%) experienced CVEs during an average of 13403 person-years follow-up. Patients with NOCAD and OCAD had higher rates of CVEs compared to those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). In Cox's models after adjustment of confounders, the risk of CVEs elevated with the increasing degrees of CAD with hazard ratio of 2.01 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.07–3.79, p=0.03] for patients with NOCAD and 2.81 (95% CI: 1.60–4.93, p<0.001) for patients with OCAD compared with the NNCA group. Moreover, elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with the severity of coronary lesions and an elevated increased risk of CVEs in patients with NOCAD and OCAD compared those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). Conclusions Patients with NOCAD had indeed worse outcomes and hs-CRP levels were positively in relation to the CVEs in those with NOCAD, which may help to the risk assessment in ones with NOCAD.

Abstract Background In patients undergo PCI for coronary artery disease, target lesion calcification is associated with major cardiac events. Malnutrition is the important factor to cause frailty and sarcopenia which affect prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between morphology in target lesions and malnutrition in patients undergo PCI is still uncertain. Purpose The aim of the present study was to investigate how malnutrition affects prognosis of stable angina patients underwent PCI and morphology in target lesions. Methods The subject was 206 consecutive stable angina patients undergone successful PCI using second-generation drug eluting stents and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The study patients were divided into two groups based on malnutrition or non-malnutrition. Nutritional status was assessed by Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), and patients with GNRI&lt;92 at admission were defined as malnutrition group (MG). We investigated the association between malnutrition on admission and outcome, and morphology in target lesions assessed by IVUS. Target lesion morphology were divided into moderate/severe calcified group and none/mild calcified group. Results All-cause death and MACCE (major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events) ≤3 years after PCI were 15 cases (7%) and 33 cases (16%). MG had higher rate of all-cause death (20 vs. 6%, p=0.001) and MACCE (37 vs. 10%, p&lt;0.001) than those of non-MG. Kaplan Meier analysis elucidated that survival rate was significantly lower in MG compared to that in non-MG (p&lt;0.001). As a result of cox proportional hazards analysis, all-cause death was associated with age [hazard ratio (HR): 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01–1.10, p=0.006)], hs-CRP (HR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.03–1.12, p&lt;0.001), hemodialysis (HR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.08–4.68, p=0.029), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95–0.99, p=0.017) and malnutrition (HR: 4.38, 95% CI: 2.11–9.09, p&lt;0.001) in the univariate analysis. Similarly, cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that age (HR: 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01–1.07, p=0.018), hs-CRP (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03–1.11, p&lt;0.001), hemodialysis (HR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.45–4.94, p=0.002), LVEF (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95–0.99, p=0.002) and malnutrition (HR: 4.14, 95% CI: 2.23–7.67, p&lt;0.001) were significantly associated with MACCE. Multivariate analysis for all-cause death and MACCE revealed that malnutrition was an independent risk factor (HR: 3.47, 95% CI: 1.52–7.94, p=0.003, HR: 3.76, 95% CI: 1.87–7.58, p&lt;0.001). Furthermore, MG was significantly associated with moderate/severe target calcified lesions assessed by IVUS compared to those of patients in non-MG (67 vs. 27%, p&lt;0.001) regardless with or without hemodialysis. Conclusions Malnutrition was a crucial independent risk factor for stable angina patients who underwent PCI and was significantly associated with moderate/severe target calcified lesions.
