Coronary heart disease is a common disease threatening human health. In recent years, the incidence of coronary heart disease in China has only increased. It is the most common type of organ disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis, which is observed in the aorta, carotid artery, and femoral artery. The main clinical treatments for coronary heart disease include coronary artery bypass grafting and drug treatment. To investigate the relationship of serum adipocytokine C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9), amyloid A (SAA), and plasma homocysteine (Hcy) with coronary artery plaque characteristics in patients with coronary heart disease. Overall, 143 patients with coronary heart disease admitted to our hospital are selected as research participants. The proportion of plaque necrosis core volume is higher in group A than in group B, and the differences are statistically significant (P < 0.05). In group A, necrotic core volume percentage is negatively correlated with CTRP9 levels and positively correlated with SAA and Hcy levels (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that increased systolic blood pressure, increased number of coronary artery lesions, decreased CTRP9 levels, and increased Hcy levels are independent risk factors for thin fibrous cap atherosclerosis in patients with coronary heart disease (P < 0.05). Decreased CTRP9 levels and increased Hcy levels are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease patients with thin fibrous cap atherosclerosis.
