Abstract

Objective. To identify the relationship between the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, coronary calcification, osteopenic syndrome and functional parameters of bone metabolism and dyslipidemia in elderly patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).

Material and methods. 57 elderly male patients (the median age of 65 [62; 69] years) with stable CAD were included in the study. The severity of coronary atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcification was assessed by the number of significant coronary artery lesions and SYNTAX score; multislice computed tomography (MSCT) with the quantitative analysis of coronary calcification and the measurement of the coronary artery calcium score by the Agatston method (CaScore); the presence of osteopenic syndrome was diagnosed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; the severity of dyslipidemia and bone metabolism disorders were assessed using blood serum analysis.

Results. Reduced bone mineral density was associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis assessed by the SYNTAX score and quantitative parameters of coronary artery calcification (CaScore). The relationship between biomarkers of bone metabolism disorders, lipid profile and coronary artery calcification scores has not been observed. However, patients with severe atherosclerosis demonstrated higher osteopontin levels. A tendency to elevated estradiol levels in patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis, assessed by the SYNTAX score, has been found.

Conclusion. The correlation between reduced bone mineral density and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis and calcification has been found in elderly male patients with stable CAD. Metabolic correlates of osteopenic syndrome and coronary atherosclerosis have been identified.
