冠心病患者血尿酸水平与血管内皮功能的相关性研究 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
目的分析冠心病患者血尿酸(UA)水平与血管内皮功能损伤的关系,从内皮功能损伤方面阐明UA水平升高是否为冠心病的独立危险因素。方法将冠心病患者分为稳定型心绞痛(SAP)组、不稳定型心绞痛(UAP)组、急性心肌梗死(AMI)组,并选健康对照(NC组),应用放免法测定血浆ET-1;硝酸还原酶法测定血浆NO;酶联免疫吸附双抗体夹心法测定血浆血管性血友病因子(vWF),尿酸还原酶法测定血UA,并分析其相关关系。结果与NC组比较,冠心病患者的UA、ET-1、vWF均显著增高(P〈0.01),NO显著降低(P〈0.01);SAP组、UAP组、AMI组的UA水平与ET-1、vWF均显著正相关(P〈0.01),与NO呈显著负相关(P〈0.01),且随着病情的进展,相关性逐渐增强。结论UA水平越高,血管内皮损伤越重;UA水平升高可能通过引起血管内皮损伤和功能失调参与动脉粥样硬化过程,促进冠心病的发生及发展,UA水平升高是冠心病的独立危险因素。 相似文献

冠心病(CHD)目前仍然是影响人类生命健康的头号“杀手”,虽然冠脉介入治疗(PCI)及药物支架(DES)等技术的发展和应用极大的改善了冠心病患者的临床症状及生存质量,但是支架内再狭窄(ISR)限制了PCI的远期疗效,成为影响预后的主要因素 。ISR相关的因素复杂多样,其具体机制仍不明确,所以充分探讨冠心病PCI患者预后及再狭窄的相关影响因素已成为国内外研究的热点。有研究表明:吸烟、糖尿病史、脂蛋白a水平、总胆红素水平、支架直径、支架长度等因素与ISR的发生密切相关。有研究认为血清胆红素是冠状动脉支架内再狭窄的保护性因素,其水平与支架内再狭窄呈负相关,并且提出其可能的机制是胆红素的抗氧化自由基、抑制交感神经、保护血管内皮功能及抑制血小板的活化等作用。 相似文献

Endothelium-dependent and -independent functions are impaired in patients with coronary heart disease 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Endothelium plays a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction participates in the course of acute coronary event. Using high-resolution ultrasound technique, endothelial dysfunction has been demonstrated in patients with atherosclerosis and risk factors for coronary disease, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia and being smokers. In the present study, using this non-invasive method, the endothelial function of the brachial artery of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) (n = 71) and control subjects (n = 34) was investigated. The results showed that endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilatation were impaired in patients with CHD (2.61+/-2.91 vs. 8.10+/-7.81%, 17.20+/-7.93 vs. 23.19+/-8.89%, respectively) (P<0.001). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was significantly positively correlated with nitroglycerine-induced dilation (P<0.001). On univariate and multivariate analysis, the extent of FMD was significantly correlated with serum HDL-C levels (P<0.01). In conclusion, our study indicates both endothelial and underlying smooth muscle functions were impaired in patients with CHD. Decreased HDL-C levels may impair endothelial function. 相似文献

Endothelial function and coronary spastic angina 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Coronary spasm plays an important role in the pathogenesis of not only variant angina but also coronary heart disease in general including acute coronary syndromes, especially in the Japanese population. The vascular endothelium has been reported to be a multifunctional organ whose integrity is essential for normal vascular physiology. Vascular endothelial dysfunction can be a critical factor in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease. Acetylcholine and methacholine cause vasodilation by endothelium-derived relaxing factor when the endothelium is functioning normally, whereas they cause vasoconstriction when the endothelium is removed or damaged. Coronary spasm can be induced by a variety of stimuli with different mechanisms of action, including acetylcholine and methacholine. Patients with coronary spasm may have a disturbance in endothelial function as well as local hyperreactivity of the coronary arteries. 相似文献

The Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) in Endothelial Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Disease
Endothelium plays a crucial role in the maintenance of vascular tone and structure. Endothelial dysfunction is known to precede overt coronary artery disease. A number of cardiovascular risk factors, as well as metabolic diseases and systemic or local inflammation cause endothelial dysfunction. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the major endothelium derived vaso-active substances whose role is of prime importance in maintaining endothelial homeostasis. Low levels of NO are associated with impaired endothelial function. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an analogue of L-arginine, is a naturally occurring product of metabolism found in human circulation. Elevated levels of ADMA inhibit NO synthesis and therefore impair endothelial function and thus promote atherosclerosis. ADMA levels are increased in people with hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, chronic heart failure, diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. A number of studies have reported ADMA as a novel risk marker of cardiovascular disease. Increased levels of ADMA have been shown to be the strongest risk predictor, beyond traditional risk factors, of cardiovascular events and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in people with coronary artery disease. Interventions such as treatment with L-arginine have been shown to improve endothelium-mediated vasodilatation in people with high ADMA levels. However the clinical utility of modifying circulating ADMA levels remains uncertain. 相似文献

Exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke (SHS) is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) among nonsmokers,
which has been estimated to be 20% to 30%. SHS may also increase the risk of stroke; however, the link is equivocal compared
with that for CHD. In addition, data from clinical and animal studies support the biologic plausibility of the association
between SHS exposure and CHD. Recent experimental evidence has provided further insights into the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular
damage associated with SHS exposure. Specifically, it has become clear that short-term, intense exposure to SHS may function
as an important trigger of clinical manifestations of CHD via multiple mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction, platelet
activation, oxidative stress, inflammation, and alterations of the autonomic nervous system. This notion is further supported
by recent studies suggesting that the risk of CHD associated with SHS exposure is likely to be reduced in the absence of high
levels of recent exposure to SHS. 相似文献

Ischemia/reperfusion injury of the heart is not limited to cardiomyocytes but also extends to coronary vascular cells, and especially coronary endothelium. Indeed, in different animal models, ischemia followed by reperfusion (but not ischemia alone) markedly decreases endothelium-dependent relaxations of coronary arteries, and especially those induced by nitric oxide (NO), while endothelium-independent responses and smooth muscle responsiveness are usually maintained. Such injury to the endothelium appears to depend on the increased production of oxygen-derived free radicals upon reperfusion, leading to an increased degradation of NO and an acute inflammatory response characterized by an increased adhesion of neutrophils to endothelial cells. Indeed, reperfusion injury to the endothelium may be prevented by free radical scavengers, by prevention of adhesion and/or activation of neutrophils, by exogenous NO supply or increased endogenous production of NO, as well as by ischemic preconditioning. Given the essential role of the endothelium and of NO in the regulation of vasomotor tone, as well as platelet and leukocyte function, it is likely that such changes in coronary endothelial function have important adverse consequences in terms of altered perfusion, and increased risk of vasospasm, but also on the long-term risk of thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Although these coronary endothelial alterations have been essentially evaluated in experimental models and are indeed difficult to assess in the human coronary circulation in the context of myocardial infarction, data obtained in healthy volunteers demonstrate that such post-ischemic alterations of endothelial function may be detected in the peripheral circulation, with underlying molecular mechanisms similar to those demonstrated experimentally. A better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for such endothelial injury may lead to the development of new treatments that protect the endothelium during ischemia and reperfusion, but also possibly in other diseases associated with endothelial dysfunction. 相似文献

Endothelial dysfunction in human disease 总被引:44,自引:0,他引:44
The vascular endothelium plays a key role in the local regulation of vascular tone by the release of vasodilator substances (i.e. endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF = nitric oxide, NO) and prostacyclin) and vasoconstrictor substances (i.e. thromboxane A2, free radicals, or endothelin). Using either agents like acetylcholine or changes in flow to stimulate the release of EDRF (NO), clinical studies have revealed the importance of EDRF in both basal and stimulated control of vascular tone in large epicardial coronary arteries and in the coronary microcirculation. The regulatory function of the endothelium is altered by cardiovascular risk factors or disorders such as hypercholesterolemia, chronic smoking, hypertension or chronic heart failure. Endothelial dysfunction appears to have detrimental functional consequences as well as adverse longterm effects, including vascular remodelling. Endothelial dysfunction is associated with impaired tissue perfusion particularly during stress and paradoxical vasoconstriction of large conduit vessels including the coronary arteries. These effects may cause or contribute to myocardial ischemia. Several mechanisms may be involved in the development of endothelial dysfunction, such as reduced synthesis and release of EDRF or enhanced inactivation of EDRF after its release from endothelial cells by radicals or oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Increased plasma levels of oxidized LDL have been noted in chronic smokers and are related to the extent endothelial dysfunction, raising the possibility that chronic smoking potentiates endothelial dysfunction by increasing circulating and tissue levels of oxidized LDL. In heart failure, cytokines and/or reduced flow (reflecting reduced shear stress) may be involved in the development of endothelial dysfunction and can be reversed by physical training. Other mechanisms include an activated renin-angiotensin system (i.e. postmyocardial infarction) with increased breakdown of bradykinin by enhanced angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity. There is evidence that endogenous bradykinin is involved in coronary vasomotor control both in coronary conduit and resistance vessels. ACE inhibitors enhance endothelial function by a bradykinin-dependent mechanism and probably also by blunting the generation of superoxide anion. Endothelial dysfunction appears to be reversible by administering L-arginine, the precursor of nitric oxide, lowering cholesterol levels, physical training, antioxidants such as vitamin C, or ACE inhibition. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) formed via endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) plays crucial roles in the regulation of coronary blood flow through vasodilatation and decreased vascular resistance, and in inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, leading to the prevention of coronary circulatory failure, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis. Endothelial function is impaired by several pathogenic factors including smoking, chronic alcohol intake, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypertension. The mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction include reduced NO synthase (NOS) expression and activity, decreased NO bioavailability, and increased production of oxygen radicals and endogenous NOS inhibitors. Atrial fibrillation appears to be a risk factor for endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is an important predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans. Penile erectile dysfunction, associated with impaired bioavailability of NO produced by eNOS and neuronal NOS, is also considered to be highly predictive of ischemic heart disease. There is evidence suggesting an important role of nitrergic innervation in coronary blood flow regulation. Prophylactic and therapeutic measures to eliminate pathogenic factors inducing endothelial and nitrergic nerve dysfunction would be quite important in preventing the genesis and development of CAD. 相似文献

It is generally recognized that formation of a platelet-fibrin-rich thrombus in an atherosclerotic coronary artery is the basis of unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction. Platelet hyperactivity has been identified in coronary risk factors such as hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Persistent activation of these cells results in release of growth factors that may contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis. Several recent studies show that endothelium, by generating or metabolizing a host of vasoactive substances, plays a critical role in the modulation of vascular tone. Important among these substances are prostacyclin (PGI2) and endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF). The endothelium-dependent modulation of coronary artery tone correlates with the severity of atherosclerosis and the number of coronary risk factors. Procedures such as angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery injure the endothelium. The loss of endothelial smooth muscle relaxant function may contribute to the vasoconstriction and thrombosis often observed soon after these procedures. Thrombolysis (and subsequent reperfusion of the coronary artery) is also associated with severe endothelial dysfunction, with a resulting vasoconstrictor influence on the coronary vascular bed. Activation of leukocytes and their presence in the reperfused myocardium contribute to progression of myocardial injury by release of oxygen free radicals and proteolytic enzymes. Thus, it seems that a perturbation in this delicate equilibrium in cellular interactions relates to genesis and progression of myocardial ischemia. 相似文献

G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor as a new therapeutic target for treating coronary artery disease
Coronary heart disease(CHD) continues to be the greatest mortality risk factor in the developed world. Estrogens are recognized to have great therapeutic potential to treat CHD and other cardiovascular diseases; however,a significant array of potentially debilitating side effects continues to limit their use. Moreover,recent clinical trials have indicated that long-term postmenopausal estrogen therapy may actually be detrimental to cardiovascular health. An exciting new development is the finding that the more recently discovered G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor(GPER) is expressed in coronary arteries-both in coronary endothelium and in smooth muscle within the vascular wall. Accumulating evidence indicates that GPER activation dilates coronary arteries and can also inhibit the prolif-eration and migration of coronary smooth muscle cells. Thus,selective GPER activation has the potential to increase coronary blood flow and possibly limit the debilitating consequences of coronary atherosclerotic disease. This review will highlight what is currently known regarding the impact of GPER activation on coronary arteries and the potential signaling mechanisms stimulated by GPER agonists in these vessels. A thorough understanding of GPER function in coronary arteries may promote the development of new therapies that would help alleviate CHD,while limiting the potentially dangerous side effects of estrogen therapy. 相似文献
