概要 *Poster Session (Japanese)100 Lipid/Kidney
Introduction: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) is caused by mutations of FH genes. On the other hand, aortic valve calcification (AVC) is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular events.Objectives: We investigated whether AVC associated with the coronary plaque morphology in HeFH patients with gene mutation.Methods: We enrolled 106 patients included 63 HeFH, 22 suspected of HeFH, (s/o HeFH) and 21 hypercholesterolemia (DL). We evaluated RHI, ABI, PWV, IMT and lipid profile, such as ApoB, oxidized LDL, RLP-C, Lp(a). AVC, AVC score, and coronary artery plaque score (CAPS) were examined by 320 detector row CT. The genotypes were analyzed using Illumina Mi-seq sequencer.Results: AVC was detected more frequently and AVC score was higher in HeFH patients. In addition, AVC score was significantly associated with CAPS (R=0.58, p<0.01). AVC score and CAPS in FH patients with the history of CAD was significantly higher than that in patients without (P=0.005). Furthermore, 22 patients (36.7%) with HeFH had gene mutations of LDLR and PCSK9. HeFH patients with LDLR or PCSK9 mutation had high AVC score and CAPS. Conclusions: The AVC score was related to coronary plaque morphology in HeFH patients, especially with LDLR or PCSK9 mutation. The genetic diagnosis of HeFH is very helpful to assess severity of coronary atherosclerosis and to determine the treatment strategy for preventing the future cardiovascular events.
