Fundamento y objetivo

La diabetes mellitus es un factor de riesgo cardiovascular que propicia la aparición de una lesión endotelial, fundamental en la fisiopatología de la cardiopatía isquémica, por lo que sería útil la investigación de marcadores que indiquen la lesión en pacientes diabéticos.

Pacientes y método

Estudio observacional, realizado con 25 pacientes diagnosticados de cardiopatía isquémica y alteración endotelial confirmada mediante coronariografía, cuyo único factor de riesgo cardiovascular es la diabetes mellitus (grupo I). Tomamos 2 grupos control, uno de 10 sujetos diabéticos sin más factores de riesgo ni clínica de cardiopatía isquémica (grupo II), y otro de 17 sujetos sanos sin factores de riesgo cardiovascular (grupo III). Comparamos entre los grupos la actividad del factor de von Willebrand (FvW) antigénico, como marcador de lesión endotelial. Empleamos como herramientas estadísticas la prueba de la t de Student y la de la χ2, el coeficiente de correlación y análisis de regresión múltiple, con un intervalo de confianza del 95%.

Resultados

Los pacientes diabéticos tienen mayores concentraciones de FvW que los sujetos sanos; además, los sujetos con cardiopatía isquémica presentan valores más elevados que los diabéticos sin complicaciones vasculares. Se comprueba cierto grado de relación entre las concentracions de FvW y fibrinógeno en el grupo I.

Conclusiones

El FvW es un factor de riesgo de lesión endotelial en diabéticos, y un marcador de riesgo de complicaciones vasculares.

Background and objective

Diabetes mellitus is a cardiovascular risk factor that promotes the development of endothelial injury, which is fundamental in the physiopathology of ischemic heart disease. Therefore, investigation of markers indicating the presence of endothelial injury in diabetic patients would be useful.

Patients and method

We performed an observational study of 25 patients with ischemic heart disease and coronary atherosclerosis, diagnosed by coronary angiography, whose only cardiovascular risk factor was diabetes mellitus (group I). There were 2 control groups, one with 10 diabetic controls without ischemic heart disease or other cardiovascular risk factors (group II) and another group with 17 healthy controls (group III). Activity of von Willebrand factor (vWf) antigen, as a marker of endothelial injury, was compared among the groups. Student's t-test, the x2 test, the coefficient of correlation, and multiple regression analysis, with a 95% confidence interval, were used in the statistical analysis.

Results

Diabetic patients had highervWf levels than healthy controls. Diabetic patients with coronary atherosclerosis had higher vWf levels than diabetics without vascular complications. There was a correlation between vWF and fibrinogen concentrations in group I.

Conclusions

vWf is a risk factor for the development of endothelial injury in diabetics and is also a marker of risk for the development of vascular complications in these patients.
