We performed this study to find the clinical usefulness of the MPC concentration in the differentiation of patients with stable angina from those with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Subjects and Method:We evaluated 175 consecutive patients (57.9±10.4 years, 107 male) undergoing coronary angiography. The study patients were divided into two groups; patients with ACS (n=55, 57.5±11.8 years, 37 male) and those with stable angina (n=120, 58.1±9.7 years, 70 male). Venous blood samples were take into EDTA tube and immediately sent to laboratory room for measurement of the MPC concentration using the ADVIA 120 hematology system. Results:The MPC concentration was significantly decreased in those with ACS (27.3±1.2 g/dl vs. 28.6±0.9 g/dl, p=0.013) compared to those with stable angina, and also decreased in patients with unstable compared to stable angina (27.4±1.2 g/dl vs. 28.6±0.9 g/dl, p<0.001), but there was no difference in the MPC concentration between acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina (27.2±1.2 g/dl vs. 27.4± 1.2 g/dl, p=0.939). An MPC concentration (28.05 g/dl demonstrated 74.5% sensitivity and 75.0% specificity in the differentiation of patients with ACS from the others in the Receiver Operating Curve analysis. The positive and negative predictive values were 51.6 and 86.5%, respectively, at that level. Conclusion:Measurement of the MPC concentration may be useful in the detection of ACS. Also, a decreased MPC concentration may be a very useful marker for the differentiation of unstable and stable angina.

ROC(receiver operation characteristic) curve 를이용한급성관동맥증후군의진단으로평균혈소판성분농도가 28.05 g/dl 이하일때민감도 74.5%, 특이도 75.0%, 양성 예측도 57.7%, 음성예측도 86.5% 이었고, 불안정형협심증과안정형협심증감별진단시평균혈소판성분농도가 28.05 g/dl 이하일때민감도 72.7%, 특이도 72.3%, 양성예측도 51.6%, 음성예측도 89.5% 였다. 로지스틱회귀분석을이용한다변량분석시급성관동맥증후군진단의독립적인자로는평균혈소판성분농도와 troponin-i 이었다. 그러나, 좌심실구출율, CK-MB, 이전심근경색증의병력은대조군과유의한차이가있었으나독립적인자는아니었다 (Table 4). 관상동맥조영술에서 50% 이상의협착이있는혈관수에따른분류를보면, 50% 미만이나정상소견을보인경우는 54명 ( 남자 28명, 평균나이 54.8±9.3 세 ), 단일혈관질환은 70명 ( 남자 50명, 평균나이 56.2±10.9 세 ), 두혈관질환은 29명 ( 남자 16명, 평균나이 62.9±9.1 세 ), 세혈관질환은 22명 ( 남자 13명, 평균나이 64.6±7.2 세 ) 이었다. 병변혈관수에따른평균혈소판성분농도는정상소견 28.7±0.9 g/ dl, 단일혈관질환 28.1±1.3 g/dl, 두혈관질환 27.8±1.3 g/dl, 세혈관질환 28.0±1.1 g/dl 으로정상소견과비교하여두혈관질환에서차이를보였다 (p=0.015). 고찰 혈소판은혈전형성에가장중심적인역할뿐아니라죽상동맥경화증의생성과진행에도관여하는것으로잘알려져있다. 11) 혈소판의활성화에는혈소판모양의변화, 혈소판의응집, 혈소판과립의방출등이관여하고 12) 이런혈소판의모양, 혈소판의응집정도, 혈소판활성화물질의정량적인측정으로혈소판의활성화정도를파악할수있다. 예를들면혈액에서 α- 과립성분, β-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, CD62P 의측정과소변에서 thromboxane B 2 를측정함으로써혈소판의활성도를평가하였다. 13-16) Cin 등 17) 은급성흉통을가진환자에서 monocyte-platelet aggregates(mpa) 검출은 troponin-t 보다유용하다는것을보고하였다. Martin 등 18) 은증가된혈소판용적은혈소판재활성화와연관성이있어심근경색증뒤의결과에영향을끼친다고보고하였다. 그러나 Halbmayer 등 19) 은혈소판용적이나혈소판크기는관상동맥질환과밀접한연관성이없다고보고하여아직까지논란의소지가있다. 본연구에서는혈소판모양의변화와과립방출에따른밀도감소와평균혈소판성분농도측정이유용하다는것이보고되어있는 Bayer ADVIA 120 혈액측정기계를이용하여측정한평균혈소판성분농도의감소가혈소판활성화와연관성이있고, 또한 flow cytometry 로측정한 CD62P
244 Korean Circulation J 2005;35:240-246 증가가평균혈소판성분농도의감소와밀접한연관성을보여주고있음을관찰할수있었다. 8) 정맥혈채취후에상온에서항응고제 EDTA 에의한혈소판의자가활성화가일어나서시간에따른용적변화를보이고, 이에따른평균혈소판성분농도도시간에따라차이가나타나는데, 첫 1 시간이내에는큰변화가없으나 1~2 시간내에큰변화로감소하기시작하여 2시간후에는안정기를이루는것으로보고되어, 20) 본연구에서는평균혈소판성분농도의시간에따른변화를최소화하기위해채혈후항응고제로 EDTA 를사용한튜브에보관즉시또는 1시간이내에측정을하였다. 그리고여러약제들도혈소판의활성화에영향을미치는것으로알려져있는데, 아스피린과고용량의헤파린은혈소판의 cyclo-oxygenase 를차단하고혈소판의과립방출을방해하여비특이적으로혈소판의활성화를감소시키고, clopidogrel 또는 ticlopidine 은혈소판의 ADP 수용체를차단하여혈소판의활성화를억제하고, abciximab 은혈소판의 GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa 수용체를차단하여혈소판응집의최종과정을방해하는작용이알려져있다. 21) 따라서이러한약제에의한영향을줄이기위해서어떠한약제도투여하기전에정맥혈을채취하여평균혈소판성분농도를측정하였다. 혈소판활성화는뇌혈관질환, 22) 말초혈관질환, 심방세동, 23) 알츠하이머질환, 24) 심부정맥혈전증 16)25) 등과연관되어있고, 당뇨병, 26) 흡연, 고혈압, 경구피임약의복용 27) 에의해영향을받는다고알려져있다. 본연구에서는급성관동맥증후군과대조군에서당뇨병, 흡연, 고혈압의유무에차이가없어이런요인에의한평균혈소판성분농도의영향을배제할수있었다. 이전심근경색증병력의빈도는급성관동맥증후군에서대조군에비해서높았고 (12.7% vs. 2.5%, p= 0.012), 이전심근경색증의병력이있었던환자의평균혈소판성분농도는급성관동맥증후군환자에서대조군에비해유의하게낮았다 (26.7±1.0 g/dl vs. 28.7±0.5 g/dl, p= 0.01). 최근아스피린저항성이있는환자에서심근경색증과뇌경색의위험성이높고, 28) 급성심근경색증으로일차적관동맥중재술을실시한환자중에서 clopidogrel 저항성이있는환자에서죽상혈전증재발의위험이높다고알려져있다. 29) 위의환자에서아스피린, clopidogrel 등의약물복용에차이가없음에도불구하고평균혈소판성분농도가차이가있었는데, 이것이급성관동맥증후군에의한것인지아니면항혈소판제재의저항성과관련이있는것인지파악하지는못하였다. 급성관동맥증후군에서염증반응의지표로 Hs-CRP 의증가가입원시와짧은기간예후에나쁜 결과와연관성이있고, 급성심근경색증환자의 50% 미만에서증가되어있다고보고되어있는데 30) 본결과에서는급성심근경색증환자에서증가된경향이나유의한차이는없었다. 이연구에서는대조군에비해급성관동맥증후군에서평균혈소판성분농도가유의하게감소하였고, 평균혈소판성분농도가급성관동맥증후군진단의독립적인자로밝혀졌다. 흥미로운것은급성심근경색증과불안정형협심증에서평균혈소판성분농도의차이는없었으나, 불안정형협심증에서안정형협심증에비해평균혈소판성분농도가감소하였다. 그러나불안정형협심증과급성심근경색증에서차이를보이지않은것은심근효소와는달리혈소판의활성화는이두질환에서비슷하다는것을나타냄으로써급성관동맥증후군으로언급되는것을뒷받침할수있다고생각된다. 본연구의제한점으로는급성관동맥증후군이발생시시간의경과에따른평균혈소판성분농도의변화는아직밝혀지지않았으나, 흉통발생후일정한시간내의환자를대상으로실시하여야하였으나내원당시의시간경과가다양하기때문에평균혈소판성분농도에영향을미치는시간요소를완전히배제하지못하였다는점이다. 결론적으로혈소판활성도를평가하는데한가지검사법이나정확한방법은아직까지논란의여지가있고, 대규모환자를대상으로연구가필요하겠으나평균혈소판성분농도의감소는급성관동맥증후군진단에도움이되는혈액학적인자의하나로서뿐아니라, 안정형협심증과불안정형협심증을감별진단하는데도움이될수있을것으로생각된다. 임상양상으로불안정형협심증과안정형협심증을감별하기어려울때평균혈소판성분농도가감소되었을때는불안정형협심증에준한더욱더적극적인치료가필요할것으로생각된다. 그리고향후급성관동맥증후군에서시간에따른평균혈소판성분농도의변화뿐아니라혈전용해제사용또는중재시술후의변화와약물사용에따른변화에대해서는좀더깊은연구가필요하겠다. 요약 배경및목적 : 급성관동맥증후군은죽상동맥경화증에서죽상반의파열, 혈소판의활성화와이로인한혈전형성에의해서발생한다. 평균혈소판성분농도의감소가혈소판의활성화를평가하는데도움이된다고알려져있다. 본연구의목적은
Ki-Young Kim, et al:decreased MPC in Acute Coronary Syndrome 245 급성관동맥증후군에서평균혈소판성분농도의유용성과안정형협심증의감별에도움이되는지를보고자하였다. 방법 : 관상동맥조영술을실시한 175 명 ( 평균나이 57.9±10.4 세, 남자 107 명 ) 의환자들을대상으로하였다. 급성관동맥증후군 ( 급성심근경색증과불안정형협심증 ) 과대조군 ( 안정형협심증과정상 ) 의두군으로나누어비교하였다. EDTA 튜브에채혈한후 1시간이내에 Bayer ADVIA 120 혈액측정기계로평균혈소판성분농도를측정하여평가하였다. 결과 : 급성관동맥증후군과대조군사이에성별, 나이, 흡연, 당뇨병, 고혈압, 고지혈증, 혈소판수치는차이가없었다 (p>0.05). 평균혈소판성분농도는급성관동맥증후군에서대조군에비해유의하게감소하였다 (27.3±1.2 g/dl vs. 28.6±0.9 g/ dl, p=0.013). 그리고불안정형협심증환자에서안정형협심증에비해평균혈소판성분농도는감소하였으나 (27.4± 1.2 g/dl vs. 28.6±0.9 g/dl, p<0.001), 불안정형협심증과급성심근경색증환자에서는차이가없었다 (27.4±1.2 g/ dl vs. 27.2±1.2 g/dl, p>0.05). 평균혈소판성분농도가 28.05 g/dl 이하일때급성관동맥증후군을진단하기위한민감도는 74.5%, 특이도는 75%, 양성예측도는 51.6%, 음성예측도는 86.5% 였다. 결론 : 평균혈소판성분농도의측정은급성관동맥증후군의진단뿐아니라, 임상상황에서불안정형협심증과안정형협심증의감별진단에도움이되는유용한검사법으로이용할수있겠다. 중심단어 : 급성관동맥증후군 ; 혈소판활성화 ; 평균혈소판성분 ; 불안정형협심증.
