It has been suggested that the adaptive coronary vascular remodeling, in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), may be systemic and may show similar vascular remodeling in the carotid arteries. We investigated the ultrasonographic features of the common carotid artery (CCA) to determine whether the arterial expansive remodeling found in the coronary artery occurs in the carotid arteries of patients with ACS. Methods : We measured lumen diameter (LD), interadventitial diameter (IAD) and intima media thickness (IMT) using a B-mode ultrasound in both common carotid arteries in patients with ACS (N=74) and chronic stable angina (CSA) (N=31). Positive remodeling was arbitrarily defined as an IMTmax >1 mm and IAD >8 mm and negative remodeling as an IMTmax >1 mm and IAD <7 mm. Other values were defined as no remodeling Results : There were no significant differences in LD IAD and maximal IMT of the right CCA and the left CCA in comparisons between the ACS and the CSA patient groups. There were no differences for number of cases with no remodeling or differences in positive and negative remodeling in the right common carotid artery and left common carotid artery in comparisons between the ACS and CSA patient groups.. Presence of plaque in both common carotid arteries showed similar frequency in the ACS and CSA patient groups. The characteristics of carotid artery plaques were not different in the two groups. The remodeling index (IAD/LD) was correlated with IMTmax (right CCA r=0.797, p<0.001; left CCA r=0.860, p<0.001). Conclusions : The common carotid arterial structure of ACS patients was not different from that of CSA patients. Therefore, these results suggest that the expansive arterial remodeling, due to Received : Accepted : Correspondence to : Jin Yong Hwang, M.D. Department of Internal Medicine, Gyeongsang National University College of Medicine. #90 Chiram-dong, Jinju , Korea jyhwang@nongae.gsnu.ac.kr

2 -Jeong Rang Park, et al : Carotid artery remodeling in acute coronary syndrome and chronic stable angina - coronary inflammatory plaques, appears to take place locally rather than systemically.(korean J Med 71: , 2006) Key Words : Acute coronary syndrome, Arterial remodeling, Carotid artery 서론과거에는동맥경화반이형성되면당연하게혈관의내경이좁아지는것으로만생각되어져왔다. 그러나동맥벽은딱딱한관이아니고혈역학적변화, 기계적인자극, 생화학적자극에따라모양을재형성할수있다는것이최근증명되어있다. 많은경우에동맥경화반에의해내강이좁아졌을때나동맥손상에의해신생내피비후가있을때혈관의외경이부분적으로나전체적으로커져서보상하는방향 (positive remodeling) 1, 2) 으로진행되지만, 때로는외경이오히려좁아져서내경의협착을조장하는경우 (negative remodeling) 3, 4) 도있다고한다. 심근경색증, 불안정형협심증, 심장돌연사를나타내는급성관상동맥증후군은동맥경화반의파열이나내피세포의탈락으로혈전이형성되어혈류가차단되거나거의차단되는경우에발생하는임상양상이다. 이런현상은관상동맥조영연구에의하면심한관상동맥협착을가지고있는환자에서보다비교적경도나중등도의협착이있는동맥경화반에서흔히관찰된다고한다 5, 6). 최근에혈관내초음파기를이용한관상동맥구조를관찰한연구에서는동맥경화반이파열되거나파열된주위에는보상적으로혈관이확장되어있는양성재형성과연관이있고, 흔히그부위에는동맥경화가없는부위가한쪽벽면을차지하는경우가많다고한다 7, 8). 이로인해양성재형성은활동적이고염증이진행하는동맥경화반에서흔히일어나기때문에혈관의내강을유지하려는보상적인측면도있지만한편으로는동맥경화반의구조를불안정하게만드는데기여하는것으로추측하고있다. 손쉽게측정할수있는고해상도의 B-mode 초음파가동맥벽에서동맥경화의변화를관찰하는데신뢰할만한영상검사로인정되면서부터관상동맥질환과경동맥구조와의상관성에대한연구가많이진행되고있다. 특히 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) 연구 9) 에의하면동맥벽이약간두꺼워져있으면경동맥외경이 커지는양성재형성을보이지만매우심하게동맥벽이두꺼워져있으면오히려경동맥외경이감소하는음성재형성을보인다고한다. 시간의경과에따라관찰한연구에의하면동맥경화성비후와동맥외경의증가는직접적인상관관계가있고경동맥의동맥경화반의크기가급속하게증가하면동맥의확장이동반되고동맥경화반의크기가안정적으로변화가없으면동맥의전체구조는변화하지않는다고하였다 10, 11). 특히총경동맥의외경이관상동맥질환자에서정상대조군보다나이, 키와성별로교정하면약간커져있고, 내경은내중막두께 (intima media thickness) 가증가된사람에서약간커져있었으나관상동맥질환자나정상대조군이나아무런차이가없었다고한다 12). 그러나급성관상동맥증후군에서의관상동맥에서일어나는동맥의재형성변화가전신적으로다른혈관즉경동맥이나상지동맥에서같이일어나는지에대한연구는확정된연구가없고논란이있는실정이다 12, 13). 더구나급성관상동맥증후군환자의혈액에서염증성인자가증가되어있고관상동맥의불안정죽상반이다발성으로여러부위에존재한다는것이잘알려져있어관상동맥의재형성이전신적으로다른혈관에도일어난다는가설을검정하고자하였다. 이에저자는관상동맥질환이비슷한급성관상동맥증후군과안정형협심증환자에서경동맥과상지동맥구조의차이를관찰하여급성관상동맥증후군에서발생하는관상동맥의염증으로인한혈관재형성이신체의다른혈관에도발생하는가를알아보고자본연구를시행하였다. 대상및방법 1. 환자군본연구의대상환자는 2004년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지경상대학교병원에서관상동맥조영술을시행한 105 명이었고, 이중급성관상동맥증후군은허혈성흉통과함께 ST 분절의상승이나하강이 0.5 mm 이상혹은 T

USA) 통계소프트웨어를사용하였다. 결과급성관상동맥증후군환자군과만성안정형협심증환자군의임상양상즉나이, 성별과위험인자즉 BMI (body mass index), 흡연, 당뇨병과고혈압의유무, 저밀도콜레스테롤치와고밀도콜레스테롤치는양군간에차이가없었다. 병변을가진관상동맥의수와전체관상동맥의경화반수는양군간에차이가없었다. high

Hausmann 등 16) 이관상동맥에서동맥경화반형성에서적응적으로혈관이확장되지않는음성재형성을최초로보고하였고, 연이어 Wong 등 17) 은같은동맥경화반면적이같더라도어떤동맥은확장되지못하고어떤동맥은실제적으로가장심한협착부위에서혈관면적이감소되는것을볼수있다고하였다. 이런현상은동맥경화증뿐아니라혈관성형술후에생기는재형성 3) 과대퇴동맥 4) 에서도관찰할수있었다. 이처럼동맥의재형성은동맥경화반의특징과동맥경화반의침범정도에따라양성재형성, 음성재형성및무재형성으로각각다른형태로진행될수있음을보여주고있다. 동맥경화반의구조적인특성과동맥재형성의상관관계는처음부검시획득한대퇴동맥과관상동맥의연속단면에서연구되었다 18, 19). 위험경화반 (vulnerable plaque) 은동맥이밖으로자라나는양성재형성에서흔히볼수있었고, 이는위험경화반에있는염증이결국혈관재형 성의가장중요한원인인자임을시사하고있다. 특히안정된동맥경화반에서는주로음성재형성을많이볼수있었던것이이사실을더욱지지하는관찰이다. 이후에여러혈관내초음파검사를이용한연구에서급성관상동맥증후군은원인병변에서양성재형성과더흔히연관되어있고안정형동맥경화반은동맥의음성재형성과연관이되어있다고보고하였다 7, 8, 20). 흥미롭게도 Wexberg 등 21) 은이미존재하는혈관재형성이향후임상양상에어떤영향을미치는지시간적으로관찰하였고그결과, 안정형협심증환자에서관혈적관상동맥시술시양성재형성을보였던환자는음성재형성이관찰되는환자보다주된심혈관계사고의빈도와재혈관개통술의빈도및다른부위에서의협착율이높았다고한다. 이는양성재형성이병변의활성도가높고음성재형성이병변의활성도가안정적임을시사한다. 이런병변의활성도는결국동맥경화반의염증, 파열위험도를나타내므로더많은빈도의급성관상동맥증후군의증상을유발할수있다. 동맥경화반에일어나는염증이양성재형성을일으키는기전으로유추되는것은동맥경화반에서많이생성되는 matrix metalloprotease 22) 와 plasminogen/ plasmin 23) 등이있으며최근에는단핵구의역할도중요하고이런단핵구의 toll-like receptor 4 24) 가관여하는것으로알려져있다. 이와같은급성관상동맥증후군환자에서염증성변화에의한양성재형성의증가는관상동맥에만국한된것이아니고전신의동맥에변화를주기때문에경동맥에도양성재형성의빈도가증가될것이라고유추해볼수있다. 실제로 Kato 등 13) 은급성관상동맥증후군환자에서관상동맥조영을통해복잡병변을하나만가진경우보다여러개를가진경우에총경동맥의 IMT도증가되어있고 IAD도증가되어있어양성재형성이많음을보고하면서급성관상동맥증후군의혈관에서염증성확장재형성은전신적이라고보고하였다. 그러나이논문의비평 25) 에서도언급한바와같이이연구의대상환자가모두급성관상동맥증후군환자들이고이들중에서관상동맥의복잡성동맥경화반의수에따라비교한것이므로실제로경동맥의재형성에영향을미치는지해답을내릴수는없다. 본연구에서는 hscrp 를측정하였고 hscrp 의상한치가 10.2 mg/dl 로평균의비교에제한이있어 AHA/CDC 지침 26) 에따라 3 mg/dl 를초과한경우 hscrp 상승군으로정하여양군을비교하였고, 급

8 - 박정랑외 8 인 : 안정형협심증과급성관상동맥증후군에서경동맥재형성 - 성관상동맥증후군환자군에서유의하게 hscrp 상승군이많아전신적염증반응의차이를확인할수있었다. 그러나임상양상및관상동맥질환및경화반의수가비슷한급성관상동맥증후군과만성안정형협심증환자에서경동맥과상지동맥을같이관찰한결과양군간의혈관재형성에는큰차이가없다는것을보여주었다. 초기의결과이기는하지만이는혈관의재형성에는전신적인염증인자이외에도국소적인혈역학적인자가더중요하게영향을미치기때문으로추측해볼수있다. 즉, 부순환계의형성에서관찰된바와같이혈류가혈관의재형성에서주요한영향을미치는데이는혈관의내피세포에서혈류의 shear stress를감지하여 metalloprotease 27), monocyte chemoattactant molecule 1 28) 등의발현을증가시키기때문으로생각되어지고있다. 실제로 Boutouyrie 등 29) 은총경동맥과요골동맥의크기는흔히측정하는상지동맥의혈압과평균혈압과는상관관계가없었지만총경동맥의국소혈압과는강한상관관계를보였다고보고하였다. Sho 등 30) 은토끼의동정맥루모형을이용한혈류의변화에따라혈관의크기가변화되는것을관찰하였다. 또한 Pasterkamp 등 31) 은부검혈관을관찰한연구에서동맥의음성재형성은대퇴동맥에많은반면신동맥에는거의없다고보고하고재형성의방향이혈관의위치에따라다르다하였다. 본연구에서도재형성지수에관상동맥의동맥경화반수나환자의임상진단즉, 급성관상동맥증후군인지안정형협심증인지는전혀영향을미치지못하였다. 그러나국소적으로총경동맥의 IMT와동맥경화반의존재가큰영향을미쳤다. 또한관상동맥질환을가진환자였지만상지동맥에서는동맥경화반을발견할수없었으며양군간의 IAD, LD 및 IAD/LD 의차이는관찰할수없었다. 이것으로보아동맥의재형성과정은전신염증인자보다혈관의위치와혈역학적인자가더중요하다고하겠다. 본연구의제한점으로는비록여러가지임상적인요소가잘조절되어있지만 case-control 연구이고, 예수가적다는것이다. 특히혈관의개개인의변이가있기때문에이를극복하기위해서는보다많은증례가필요할것으로생각된다. 본연구에서이런변이를줄이기위해 IAD와 LD, IAD/LD 를나이와 body mass index로교정하여도양군간에차이가없었다 (data not shown). 두번째로총경동맥의재형성기준이임의로정해졌다는점이있겠으나, 아직정확한기준이정해지지않았으며, 환자들의평균과표준편차를이용한기준으로통계처리를시행해보았으나양군에서차이가없어같은결과를보였다. 또한관상동맥혈관내초음파를이용하여급성관상동맥증후군환자와안정형협심증환자에서관상동맥의재형성을측정하여직접적으로총경동맥의재형성을비교하는연구가필요하리라생각된다. 결론적으로본연구에서는급성관상동맥증후군환자에서만성안정형협심증환자에비해총경동맥과상지동맥의재형성의차이는없었다. 따라서혈관의재형성과정은급성관상동맥증후군과같은전신적인염증에의해진행되는전신적인변화보다주로국소적인혈역학적인자가더중요하게관여하는것으로생각되어지며더많은환자에서의연구가진행되어야할것으로생각된다. 요약목적 : 불안정하고염증이활발한동맥경화반에서는보상적인혈관의양성재형성이일어난다. 급성관상동맥증후군환자에서일어나는관상동맥의양성혈관재형성이전신적염증반응에의해경동맥의혈관재형성에도영향을미칠것이라는것을유추해볼수있다. 이에저자는급성관상동맥증후군과만성안정형협심증환자에서경동맥과상지동맥구조의차이를관찰하여급성관상동맥증후군에서발생하는관상동맥의염증으로인한혈관재형성이총경동맥에서도발생하는가를알아보고자본연구를시행하였다. 방법 : 급성관상동맥증후군 74명과안정형협심증 31명을대상으로 B-mode 초음파검사를사용하여양측총경동맥의 IMT, LD, IAD 를측정하였다. 양성재형성은 IMT >1 mm이면서 IAD >8 mm인경우, 음성재형성은 IMT >1 mm이고 IAD <7 mm일때, 그외의경우를무재형성이라정의하여비교하였다. 결과 : 급성관상동맥증후군과안정형협심증양군에서 IMTmax, LD, IAD는차이가없었고, 우총경동맥과좌총경동맥각각의양성재형성, 음성재형성, 무재형성또한차이가없었다. 양총경동맥의동맥경화반의존재유무, 동맥경화반의특징의비교에도두군의차이는없었다. 총경동맥의재형성지표인 IAD/LD는 IMTmax 와의미있는상관관계를보였다 ( 우총경동맥의 IMTmax과 IAD/LD의상관계수 r=0.797 p<0.001, 좌총경동맥의 IMTmax와 IAD/LD의상관계수 r=0.860, p<0.001)

9 -The Korean Journal of Medicine : Vol. 71, No. 3, 결론 : 급성관상동맥증후군환자와안정형협심증환자를비교했을때총경동맥의특징에차이가없었다. 따라서혈관의재형성과정은급성관상동맥증후군과같은전신적인염증에의해진행되는전신적인변화보다주로국소적인혈역학적인자가더중요하게관여하는것으로생각되어지며더많은환자에서의연구가진행되어야할것으로생각된다. 중심단어 : 급성관상동맥증후군, 동맥재형성, 경동맥 REFERENCES 1) Glagov S, Weisenberg E, Zarins CK, Stankunavicius R, Kolettis GJ.
