Abstract
Coronary endothelial dysfunction is thought to underlie the development of coronary artery spasms. Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) was suggested as a marker of endothelial damage. This study investigated the diagnostic impact of MDA-LDL on ergonovine-induced coronary spasms. We included 152 patients with suspected coronary spastic angina. MDA-LDL levels were measured before an ergonovine provocation test. Coronary spasm was defined as total or subtotal occlusion, compared to the relaxed state after nitroglycerin, associated with ischemic ECG changes and concurrent chest pain. Changes in vessel diameter in response to ergonovine were evaluated with quantitative coronary angiography. Coronary spasms were observed in 41 patients (27%). MDA-LDL levels were significantly higher in patients with spasms compared to those without spasms (139.9 ± 45.9 U/L vs. 109.6 ± 36.6 U/L, p<0.01). Univariate logistic regression analyses indicated significant relationships between coronary spasms and MDA-LDL (per 10 U/L, odds ratio (OR): 1.20; p<0.01), high-density lipoprotein (per 10 mg/dL, OR: 0.76; p=0.03), smoking (OR: 3.04; p<0.01), and male gender (OR: 3.51; p<0.01). In the multivariate model, MDA-LDL (per 10 U/L, OR...Continue Reading
