The analysis of the lipid levels in patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention: a one-year follow-up observational study
LIPIDS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE(2020)
Abstract
Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been an important technology for the treatment of CHD. Blood lipid management is critical for PCI patients because not only should local vascular pathological changes be considered but the whole atherosclerotic process should be considered as well. Methods A total of 522 patients diagnosed with CHD (including acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina) successfully underwent stent implantation in acute or elective PCI in the cardiology department of one general hospital in Guangzhou from June 2015 to December 2017. The 2016 Chinese Guideline for the Management of dyslipidaemia in Adults and the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III) final report (NCEP-ATP III) were used to classify total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Results A total of 522 patients were recruited for the study. The mean values of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C at baseline were 4.76, 1.80, 2.93 and 1.03 mmol/L, respectively. After 1 year of follow-up, the mean values of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C were 3.94, 1.62, 2.26 and 1.01 mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence of high TC, high TG, high LDL-C and low HDL-C at baseline was 12.05, 21.80, 10.90 and 56.79%, respectively, and the prevalence at follow-up was 4.59, 15.68, 3.25 and 59.85%, respectively. Logistic regression revealed that gender was risk factor for high TC (>= 6.22 mmol/L), low HDL-C (< 1.04 mmol/L) and high LDL-C (>= 4.14 mmol/L) at follow-up. Age was the factor associated with high TG (>= 2.26 mmol/L) and low HDL-C (< 1.04 mmol/L) at follow-up. Besides, smoking and diet control were risk factors for low HDL-C (< 1.04 mmol/L) and high LDL-C (>= 4.14 mmol/L) at follow-up, respectively. Conclusion The patients with PCI at follow-up experienced lower mean values of lipids and prevalence of dyslipidaemia than those at baseline. Gender, age, smoking and diet control were the risk factors associated with elevated lipids. Improvement in lipid management at follow up demonstrated that such intervention can be effective.
