Objective:
To investigate the relationship between reactive hyperemia index(RHI) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with the cardiac function and prognosis, intervention so as to provide guidance for coronary heart disease severity and prognosis assessment.
Methods:
500 cases of volunteers had coronary artery angiography by Judkins method in our hospital. coronary angiography showing one or more quarantine branch of coronary artery stenosis lower than 50% or more were taken as the standard for coronary heart disease diagnosis, and the volunteers were divided into CHD group (n=81) and health group (n=419). RHI and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of two groups were detected. The CHD group were followed up for 1 year and survival prognosis and cardiovascular events prognosis of the patients were statistically analyzed and the relationship between RHI and LVEF, cardiovascular events rate and mortality were analyzed.
Results:
Compared with health group, RHI and LVEF of CHD group were lower (
P
<0. 05). RHI of patient in CHD group with LVEF ≥ 50% were higher than that of patient with LVEF < 50% (
P
<0. 05). Pearson correlation analysis results showed that RHI and LVEF of CHD patients were positively correlated (r=0.827,
P
<0. 05). Coronary heart disease group were followed up for 1 year and the cardiovascular events rates and mortality rates were 28.40% and 9.88% respectively, and RHI and LVEF of patient with cardiovascular events were lower than that of patients without coronary heart disease, and RHI and LVEF of death patients were also lower than that of survived patients (
P
<0. 05). Spearman unconditionally correlation analysis results showed that the RHI and cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with CHD are negatively correlated (r=-0.794, -0.762,
P
<0. 05).
Conclusion:
RHI in CHD patients is lower and closely related to the cardiac function and prognosis, this may be related to RHI reflecting endothelial function and endothelial function damage of CHD associating with disease development, therefore, RHI may be reference indicators of disease severity and prognosis assessment of CHD.
