The Value of RBP4 in Assessing Coronary Artery Elasticity in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Background: Existing research has shown that retinol binding protein (RBP4) an impairing effect on arterial elasticity and induces insulin resistance, but the clinical value of RBP4 in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) combined type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) not been investigated. This study sought to compare complexity artery lesions between CHD T2DM those without T2DM, analyze risk factors affecting elasticity, investigate assessing T2DM. Methods: A total 130 confirmed were consecutively enrolled, including 38 92 Basic data, laboratory findings, angiography intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging Gensini scores parameters calculated both groups. Elasticity included: stiffness parameter (β), pressure-strain elastic modulus (Ep), distensibility coefficient (DC), compliance (CC). Multiple linear regression equations established as dependent variables explore influencing within two Results: Compared group, group had higher levels, scores, β Ep values, lower DC CC values. Linear analysis showed score increased values decreased In all groups, was independent factor for after correction confounders by multiple analysis, whereas statistically different. Conclusions: overall patients, it did affect
