; chromaffin grain protein A; chronic heart failure; ventricular remodelingObjective: To study the correlation between serum cystatin C , chromaffin grain protein A (CgA) and the ventricular remodeling in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: Eighty cases of hospitalized CHF patients were enrolled in the study , with 30 cases in NYHA Class Ⅱ , 30 cases in NYHA Class Ⅲ , 20 cases in NYHA Class Ⅳ and 20 casesnormal physical examination as control. Serum Cys C, CgA ,NT –proBNP, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left atrial diameter(LAD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular, left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were measured by echocardiography. Results: (1) CysC and CgA levels were higher in CHF patients than normal control group and NYHA Class Ⅳ higher than Class Ⅲ; NYHA Class Ⅲ level higher than Class Ⅱ level; Class Ⅳ level higher than Ⅱ level.(2) Serum Cys C and CgA had positive correlation.3 Cys C and CgA levels in patients with CHF and LAD, LVD, LVPWT, IVST, LVMI, NT-proBNP were positively correlated, and negatively correlated with LVEF. (3) Cys C and CgA levels in patients were positively correlated with CHF and LAD, LVD, LVMI, NT-proBNP, and negatively correlated with LVEF. Conclusion: The level of Cys C, CgA are correlated with ventricular remodeling and cardiac function in CHF patients, and they can be used as a indicator to determine the degree of ventricular remodeling in CHF patients.
