Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of serum Sestrin-2 in the patients with hypertension complicated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and its correlation with vascular lesions.
Methods A total of 131 patients with hypertension complicated with ACS were selected as the observation group. According to the specific diagnoses, the patients were divided into the hypertension complicated with unstable angina pectoris group (UAP group) and hypertension complicated with acute myocardial infarction group (AMI group). Another 68 patients with simple hypertension were selected as the CON group. The serum Sestrin-2 levels of patients were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression differences among different groups were analyzed. ROC and logistic binary regression analysis were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of Sestrin-2 in hypertension complicated with ACS.
Results The levels of LDL, ALT and AST in the AMI group were higher than those in UAP group and CON group, the Gensini in the AMI group was higher than that in UAP group, the levels of Sestrin-2 in the UAP group and AMI group were higher than that in CON group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the serum Sestrin-2 levels among the single-vessel lesion group, double-vessel lesion group and multi-vessel lesion group (P > 0.05). The serum Sestrin-2 level in the severe ACS lesion group was significantly higher than that in mild and moderate lesion groups (P < 0.01). The high expression of Sestrin-2 and AST were the risk factors for ACS in hypertension, and the ALT level was negatively correlated with the occurrence of ACS (P < 0.05). The AUC of Sestrin-2 for the diagnosis of ACS in hypertension was 0.614, with sensitivity and specificity of 90.8% and 67.2%, respectively, and 95%CI: 0.528–0.699.
Conclusions Among patients with hypertension complicated with ACS, the serum Sestrin-2 is closely related to coronary artery lesions, and has certain diagnostic value.
