Abstract
Background and Aim: Coagulation Factor VII plays a vital role in initiation of coagulation reaction. An increase of plasma FVIIc levels (coagulation Factor VII activity) may indicate hypercoagulability related to the early phase of tissue factor-induced coagulation. We aimed to examine associations between plasma FVIIc levels and obesity (visceral and overall) among middleaged CAD and healthy Indian subjects. Method: 130 middle-aged subjects were studied, of which 65 subjects had CAD and 65 subjects were age- and sex-matched healthy controls. They underwent cardiac investigations (2D Echocardiography, stress test), anthropometric measurements (body-mass-index: BMI, waist circumference: WC), biochemical (fasting plasma levels of lipid parameters, insulin resistance, glucose, leptin etc) and hematological (FVII and fibrinogen) investigations. Results: We observed significantly raised levels of FVII activity among the viscerally obese CAD compared to non-viscerally obese CAD (p<0.01). Similar pattern was observed among the overall obese and non-overall -obese CAD subjects. We also observed significantly raised (p<0.05) FVIIc among the obese controls compared to non-obese controls. Hypercoagulant FVIIc activity among the CAD subjects was found correlated with WC (r=0.3, p<0.05) and BMI (r=0.2, p<0.05) as well as hyperlipidemia (r=0.3, p<0.05). On multiple regression analysis, among CAD subjects, hypercoagulant FVII activity was found associated significantly with abdominal and visceral obesity, independently of systolic blood pressure, leptin, insulin resistance and glucose(�²:0.32, p<0.01), but not dyslipidemia. Conclusion: We observed that Factor VII hypercoagulant activity plays a significant role in obesity in CAD subjects. Excess risk for CAD associated with obesity may be mediated in part by enhanced potential for acute thrombosis through FVII activation.Biography
