Correlation Study Between Angiotensin II Type1 Receptor Autoantibodies and the Onset Risk in Patients With Essential Hypertension Combining Acute Coronary Syndrome / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the correlation between angiotensin II type1 receptor autoantibodies (AT1-AAs) and the onset risk in patients with essential hypertension (EH) combiningacute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Our research included in 4 groups: EH+ACS group,n=28, ACS group, n=29, EH group,n=26 and Control group,n=23 normal subjects. Serum levels of AT1-AAs were examined by ELISA; high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), blood levels of lipids and glucose were also measured and compared among different groups. The correlations between AT1-AAs and blood lipids, glucose, hs-CRP were studied by multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Compared with Control group, ACS group had similar level of AT1-AAs (0.26±0.09) vs (0.21±0.06),P=0.105; while EH+ACS group and HE group had increased AT1-AAs level as (0.40±0.005) and (0.33±0.10),P=0.001 andP=0.02 respectively; AT1-AAs level was higher in EH+ACS group than HE group,P=0.044. In addition, serum AT1-AAs level was positively related to hs-CRP in EH+ACS group, ACS group and EH group (r=0.589,r=0.503 andr=0.273, allP<0.01). Conclusion: Serum AT1-AAs level was positively related to the onset risk in patients with EH combining ACS; AT1-AAs was also related to hs-CRP at certain degree.
