Description
Summary:As a mechanism compensating for obstructive coronary artery disease, coronary collateral circulation (CCC) has attracted cardiologists for a long time to explore its potential impact. In the present study, Chinese patients suffering from [greater than or equal to] 95% coronary stenosis, as diagnosed by angiography, have been investigated for the correlation between CCC and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels. A cohort of 654 patients was divided into four categories according to Rentrop grades 0, 1, 2, and 3. Lp(a) levels were divided into model 1, discretized with critical values of 33 and 66%, and model 2, discretized with a cutoff value of 30.0 mg/dL. Furthermore, we evaluated the correlation between CCC and serum Lp(a) levels. The four groups had significantly different Lp(a) levels (25.80 [+ or -] 24.72, 18.99 [+ or -] 17.83, 15.39 [+ or -] 15.80, and 8.40 [+ or -] 7.75 mg/dL; P30.0 group (OR=6.77, 95%CI=4.44-10.4) was greater than that of Lp(a)
