Abstract：Objective To investigate the correlation between serum level of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in military pilots. Methods Sixty male military pilots hospitalized in Airforce General Hospital having coronary angiography examination(CAG) from March 2005 to May 2015 were involved then were divided into CHD group (n = 24) and control group (n = 36) according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG). The patients with CHD were divided into low score group (Gensini score ≤ 20) and high score group (Gensini score > 20) according to Gensini score. Results There were significant increase of the level of TG, GGT and decrease of the level of HDL-C in CHD group than those in control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference with the level of GTT between high score group and low score group (P > 0.05); logistic regression analysis showed that serum GGT was an independent risk factor of CHD in military pilots (OR = 1.168, P < 0.01). Conclusion Serum GGT is associated with CHD in military pilots and is the independent risk factor of CHD in the pilots.
