Abstract
Objective To observe the microdose albumin in urine, carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT) of coronary heart disease(CHD) patients' and coronary Gensini score level, to investigate the correlation between the extent of coronary stenosis and microalbuminuria, CIMT. Methods 50 cases of hospitalized patients with CHD and healthy control group of 50 cases were selected, to compare the score between the two groups of microalbuminuria, CIMT and coronary Gensini. Results CHD group: microalbuminuria and CIMT were (38.36±19.51)mg/L, (1.18±0.25)mm respectively.Healthy control group: microalbuminuria and CIMT were (27.52±15.44)mg/L, (0.76±0.17)mm respectively.Differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=3.080, P=0.002; t=9.823, P=0.000). CHD group: coronary Gensini score was positively correlated with microalbuminuria, CIMT(r=0.288, P=0.430 r=0.308, P=0.290). Conclusion The correlation between CHD patients' microalbuminuria, CIMT and the degree of coronary artery stenosis is positive.By measuring the microalbuminuria and CIMT, we can predict the extent of coronary artery stenosis. Key words: Carotid intima media thickness; Urinary albumin; Coronary artery disease
