چکیده
OBJECTIVE We attempted to investigate the potential association between leptin and coronary collateral vessel development in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). METHODS One hundred and nineteen consecutive patients with NSTE-ACS with high-grade coronary stenosis or occlusion in at least one epicardial coronary artery were prospectively enrolled in a cross-sectional observational study. Serum leptin levels measured in all patients. Collateral circulation was graded according to the Rentrop classification. Firstly, we divided patients into two groups as good and poor collateral group. Patients with Rentrop 2.3 were regarded as good collateral group. Patients in Rentrop grades 0, 1 classified as poor collateral group. Secondly, patients were divided into collateral (+) group and collateral (-) group. Collateral (+) group included the patients with grade 1, 2, 3 collateral development. Collateral (-) group was composed of the patients with Rentrop 0. Statistical analysis was performed using Student t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, Kruskal -Wallis test and Spearman's correlation. RESULTS We did not find statistically significant difference between good and poor collateral groups with regard to leptin levels [4.2 (1.8-8.6) ng/mL and 6.4 (2.4-12.6) ng/mL, p=0.22, respectively]. There was no statistically significant difference in leptin levels between collateral (+) group and collateral (-) groups [4.7 (1.7-10.5) ng/mL and 6.8 (2.7-12.1) ng/mL, p=0.33, respectively]. We observed that there was lower leptin level at higher Rentrop grades [Rentrop 0; 6.8 (2.5-12.5) ng/mL, Rentrop 1; 5.9 (1.7-14.1) ng/mL, Rentrop 2; 4.3 (1.7-8.7) ng/mL, Rentrop 3; 3.9 (2.1-9.7) ng/mL]. However, this difference did not reach statistically significant level (p=0.54). In addition, we did not find statistically significant correlation between Rentrop grades and leptin levels (p=0.246, r=-0.107). CONCLUSION The present study reveals no association between serum leptin level and coronary collateral development.

Introduction: No-reflow phenomenon in coronary vessels, manifested in some patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI), is associated with poor clinical and functional outcomes. Therefore, evaluation of predisposing risk factors can be helpful in risk assessment and identification of patients at higher risk. Herein, we aimed to study the predictive factors for the development of...
