目的 本研究旨在探讨血浆chemerin水平与原发性高血压合并心房颤动的相关性。方法 选择2016年2月—2017年12月期间在广州市第一人民医院心内科及老年心内科住院的高血压患者160例,根据是否合并心房纤颤分为心房纤颤组(AF组,n=72)及非心房纤颤组(NAF组,n=88),另选取140例我院体检中心体检结果正常的正常健康人作为对照组(CON组,n=140)。采用全自动生化检测仪测定甘油三脂、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白、C反应蛋白等生化学指标;使用ELISA法检测血浆chemerin水平。结果 AF组患者的血浆chemerin水平较NAF组患者升高[(180.45±15.23)ng/mL vs(162.36±13.44)ng/mL,P<0.05],且均较CON组升高[(142.36±11.83)ng/mL,P<0.05)],多元Logistic回归分析显示血浆chemerin水平与高血压病合并心房纤颤呈独立相关性(OR 1.112, 95% CI 1.023～1.302;P<0.001)。结论 高血浆chemerin水平可能是预测高血压合并心房纤颤的独立危险因素,血清chemerin可能成为一种预测高血压发生心房纤颤的重要生物学标记物。

Objective To explore the relationship between chemerin levels and permanent atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 160 patients with hypertension were enrolled in this study. All the patients were classified as AF(n=72) or NAF(n=88) based on the permanent atrial fibrillation or not. And 140 healthy people were collected as a control group(CON). Triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and C-reactive protein were measured by automatic biochemical detector. Serum chemerin levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Serum chemerin levels were higher in AF patients than those in NAF patients(180.45±15.23 ng/mL vs 162.36±13.44 ng/mL,P<0.05). They were both higher than that of the CON patients(142.36±11.83 ng/mL,P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that chemerin level was independently associated with the permanent atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension(OR 1.112, 95% CI 1.023～1.302;P<0.001). Conclusion Serum chemerin is an independent risk factor for permanent atrial fibrillation with hypertension. The results suggest that chemerin might be a useful biomarker for predicting the permanent atrial fibrillation with hypertension.
