We investigated the relationship between serum concentrations of procollagen propeptides and severity of CAD in such patients. Design and methods: Forty-six patients (32 men; mean age 64 years) with chest pain were enrolled. All patients received stress thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and analysis of the serum levels of the amino-terminal propeptide of type I and III procollagen (PINP and PIIINP). Results: In patients with thallium-201 perfusion defects, the number of diseased vessels was associated significantly with PIIINP (p = 0.024) rather than PINP (p = 0.613). Follow-up serum PINP and PIIINP levels after coronary intervention (mean 84 days) revealed no significant decrease. Conclusions: Serum PIIINP level is significantly associated with the severity of CAD in patients without myocardial infarction or hibernation. ? 2006. |
