Association of lipoprotein(a) and bilirubin with severity of coronary artery lesion

Objective To investigate the association of Lipoprotein (a) and bilirubin with coronary heart disease(CHD). Methods One hundred and ninty -six patients undergone coronary angiography and completed clinical examination of TC, TG, HDL - C, LDL - C, Lp ( a), TBIL, DBIL, IBIL were divided into the without coronary diseases group ( coronary artery stenosis ＜50% ,52 cases) ,the single vessel disease group(with only one vessel stenosis ≥50% ,53 cases) and the multi -vessel disease group (with more than one vessel stenosis ≥50% ,91 cases)according to the coronary angiographic results. The correlative factors of coronary lesion and the relationship between Lipid,bilirubin and the severity of coronary lesion were analyzed. Results Higher levels of LDL - C and Lp(a) were found in the single vessel disease group and in the multi -vessel disease group compared with the without coronary disease group, significant difference was found in the LDL- C and Lp(a) level among the 3 groups(P＜0.05). The levels of IBIL were lower in the single vessel disease group and in the multi -vessel disease group compared with the without coronary disease group,significant difference was found in indirect bilirubin level in the multi -vessel disease group compared with in the without coronary disease group and in the single vessel disease group(P＜0.05). Single factor logistic regression showed that Lp (a) and indirect bilirubin are both correlation factors with coronary lession (r =2. 125 and - 1. 557, P ＜0.01 respectively). Advanced multi - factor logistic regression showed weaker correlation of Lp (a) with coronary lesion compared with LDL - C and TG (OR = 1. 238,5.031 and 3.996,95% CI1.069 - 6.322,2.457 - 12.356,2.785 - 14.764 respectively). Conclusions High level of Lp(a) and Low level of IBIL in human significantly influence the severity of coronary heart disease(CHD).\r\n\r\nKey words: \r\nCoronary heart disease ;  Coronary angiography ;  Lipoprotein (a) ;  Bilirubin ;
