Effect of exercise rehabilitation combined with trimetazidine on endothelial function, inflammatory response and blood lipid metabolism in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI

Objective:To study the effect of exercise rehabilitation combined with trimetazidine on endothelial function, inflammatory response and blood lipid metabolism in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: The patients with stable angina pectoris who received PCI in our hospital between July 2015 and November 2017 were chosen and randomly divided into the observation group who received postoperative exercise rehabilitation combined with trimetazidine and the control group who received conventional intervention combined with trimetazidine. The reactive hyperemia index (RHI) as well as serum contents of endothelial markers, inflammatory cytokines and blood lipid indexes were determined before intervention and after intervention for 3 months.Results:After intervention for 3 months, the RHI levels as well as serum NO, HDL-C and Omentin-1 contents of both groups significantly increased while serum ET-1, vWF, M-CSF, IL-6, IL-8, RANTES, LDL-C and Chemerin contents significantly decreased; the RHI level as well as serum NO, HDL-C and Omentin-1 contents of the observation group was significantly higher than those of the control group while serum ET-1, vWF, M-CSF, IL-6, IL-8, RANTES, LDL-C and Chemerin contents were significantly lower than those of the control group.Conclusion:Exercise rehabilitation combined with trimetazidine can improve the endothelial function, inhibit the inflammatory response and regulate the blood lipid metabolism in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.
