Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Introduction. Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) often manifest in adulthood, the atherosclerotic process begins in childhood. Studies show that individuals with early atherosclerotic changes possess one or more equivalent factors and markers of cardiovascular risk in adult life as dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity and hyperglycemia. Objective. Identify plasma markers, histological and immunohistochemical features of the genesis and progression of atherosclerosis in early human plasma samples and fragments of vascular patients undergoing myocardial revascularization. Casuistic and Methods. Samples of plasma and vascular tissue from 23 patients of both genders, 44 to 73 years, in two groups >56 and <56 years, from Myocardial Revascularization (MR) Surgery Unit / Ana Nery’s Hospital / UFBA, indicated to MR, between Dec/2009 Jun/2012. Lipid profile, calculated indices of cardiovascular risk markers and receptors for LDL-r, CD36 and CD68 in fragments and internal thoracic aorta was determined. Results. Lipid profile data between groups said as chronic (> 56 years) and said as precocious (<56 years) were different (p <0.05). The indices in the group <56 years were above the reference values. In both groups, the rate of Gazziano (TG / HDL-C) indicates the presence of small, dense LDL. The group <56 years, shows lower LDL size values (7.1 ± 1.4 vs 4.15 ± 2.9) when compared to > 56 years group, respectively. The non-HDL-C was more severe in the group <56 years due to hypertriglyceridemia (234 ± 58mg/dL, p = 0.0006). In histological and immunohistochemical studies, were observed discrete atherosclerosis and marks with different intensities between the two groups for LDL-r, CD36 and CD68. In <56 years, were observed lipid streaks, degenerate macrophages, cholesterol crystals, basophilia of elastic fibers and bleeding points. The markup for LDL-r in > 56 years was diffused. In internal thoracic, the tissue marks were of low intensity and focally localized, but less intense when compared to <56 years group. The internal mammary CD36 mark was high in patients <56 years, when compared with > 56 years. The marks for CD68 in aorta was intense in both groups, however, in internal thoracic was tenuous independent of evaluated group. For CD36, the data point to risk from <56 years, due to the intense labeling observed, this receptor is really implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Conclusion. It is conceivable that there is significant interaction between the plasma and tissue markers acting in atherogenic event, being most severe in patients younger than 56 years.
