Abstract

Objective. To study the role and prognostic significance of various concentrations of total (TA) and high molecular weight (HMWA) adiponectin in blood serum in severe coronary heart disease (CHD).

Methods. The study included 427 people: the main group - 343 examined with an CHD and the comparison group without CHD - 84 people who underwent examination of the cardiovascular system for other reasons not related to CHD. All patients with CHD, as well as those examined without CHD, underwent selective coronary angiography (strictly according to indications). The concentration of TA and HMWA was measured by the ELISA method. Statistical data analysis was performed using the statistical software package SPSS, version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., USA).

Results. The concentration of TA and HMWA was significantly lower in patients with CHD than in those examined from the comparison group without CHD. The concentration of TA in men was significantly lower than in women, regardless of the presence of CHD. The content of HMWA in the blood serum of men with CHD with stenosis of 3 or more coronary arteries was significantly lower than in patients with stenosis of 1–2 coronary arteries. The concentration of HMWA in men and women with stenosis of 1–2 coronary arteries did not differ, but among patients CHD with stenosis of 3 or more coronary arteries was significantly lower in men than in women. The risk of developing endpoints (EP) in men with CHD depends on the concentration of HMWA in the blood serum, and when its concentration is less than 1.1 μg/ml, the risk of their development is increased by 7.1 times. Prospective analysis (average 41 months) showed that in patients with CHD with registered EP, the concentration of TA and HMWA in the blood serum was significantly lower than in patients with CHD without EP.

Conclusions. A decrease in the concentration of adiponectin in the blood is associated with a more severe course of CHD, especially in male patients. The concentration of HMWA in the blood serum of less than 1.1 μg/ml leads to an increase in the risk of developing the endpoint in men with CHD by 7.1 times. The onset of endpoints in CHD patients is associated with a significantly lower serum adiponectin concentration.
