Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the consequence of appearance and development of atherosclerosis lesions of associated with a inflammatory complication. Aim: To elucidate a possible association between several inflammation and oxidative stress markers according to the severity of coronary artery disease. Methods: This study was carried on 93 coronary subjects with: unstable angina (UA; n=42); stable angina (SA; n=15) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI; n=36) and 140 control subjects to whom lipidic, oxidative and inflammatory parameters were determined. Results: In addition to a moderate hyperhomocysteinemia observed in the coronary artery disease, a significant higher levels of the oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) were found among these patients (p< 0.001). A positive correlation was found between the markers of the inflammation and the gravity of the acute coronary syndrome. One note a significant increase of the rate of ox-LDL and high sensitive CRP to AMI by reports in UA and SA (p=0.00, and p=0.001 respectively) which is linked to an elevation of the plasmatic concentration of the total homocysteine. Conclusion: This study suggests an association between the markers of the inflammation and oxidative parameters in the acute coronary syndrome.
