Objective:Observing the expression of visceral fat-specific serine protease inhibitor(Vaspin),cardiac troponin T(cTnT)and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP)in acute coronary syndrome(ACS),stable coronary heart disease and control to provide new basis of Vaspin for clinical diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of ACS. Methods:A total of 158 patients with ACS,80 patients with stable coronary heart disease and 90 patients without coronary heart disease were included. The expression of Vaspin was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,while the levels of cTnT and NT-pro-BNP were detected at the same time. The expression levels of Vaspin,cTnT and NT-pro-BNP were analyzed and compared in three groups by one-way ANOVA. A 2-year follow-up of clinical outcomes including cardiac death,rehospitalization and revascularization was conducted and logistic analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between Vaspin level and clinical prognosis. Results:The results showed significant difference of Vaspin,cTnT and NT-pro-BNP among three groups(P < 0.01). The expression level of Vaspin was lowest in ACS group and highest in control group,while the expression level of cTnT and NT-pro-BNP were highest in ACS group and lowest in control group. There was significant negative correlations between Vaspin and NT-pro-BNP or cTnT. Furthermore,lower expression level of Vaspin indicated higher risk of cardiovascular adverse events,such as cardiac death,rehospitalization and revascularization. Conclusion:The expression level of Vaspin in ACS was significantly lower than that in stable and non-coronary heart disease,which was negatively correlated with NT-pro-BNP and cTnT. Vaspin is an independent risk factor for ACS,and the lower expression level of Vaspin,the worse prognosis of patients.
