In all subjects, myocardial serum enzyme levels (creatine phosphokinase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase) and inflammatory indices (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, white blood cells, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) were measured. Patients were all submitted to coronary angiography and CAD severity was evaluated by Gensini score.Results: Significant differences concerning enzyme serum levels and inflammatory indices were found to exist between the three study groups, being highest among patients with acute MI (p < 0.001). A significant association was demonstrated between Gensini score and serum enzyme levels as well as inflammatory biomarkers.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that serum levels of myocardial enzymes and inflammatory indices correlate with CAD severity in Greek patients.Keywords: myocardial enzymes, inflammation, coronary angiography, coronary artery diseaseVasileios PeppesGeorge RammosEfstathios ManiosEleni KorobokiStylianos RokasNikolaos ZakopoulosDove Medical PressarticleMyocardial enzymesinflammationcoronary angiographyGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 3, Pp 699-710 (2008) |
