| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125), known as a tumor marker for ovarian cancer, has been reported to increase in relation to disease severity in heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction. Aortic stenosis (AS) has a wide clinical spectrum that often includes heart failure symptoms. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the serum levels of CA 125 in patients with AS and its relation to clinical severity and echocardiographic parameters. STUDY DESIGN: The study group consisted of 42 patients (20 males, 22 females, mean age 62.5 ± 14.9 years) with AS and 35 healthy controls (17 men, 18 women; mean age 59.0 ± 9.1 years). All patients and control subjects underwent chest X-ray and echocardiographic evaluation. We measured serum CA 125 values in patients with AS and control subjects. RESULTS: The median (interquartile range) CA 125 level was significantly higher among AS patients than in the control group in covariate analysis (9.4 [2.5-38.1] vs. 6.8 [4.4-13.9] U/ml respectively; p=0.001). Spearman correlation analysis in the whole group indicated that CA 125 was positively correlated with aortic mean gradient (p=0.007, r=0.30) and creatinine levels (p=0.02, r=0.26). CONCLUSION: We found that CA 125 levels were elevated in patients with AS and were correlated with mean gradient and creatinine levels. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
