Abstract：Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the association betweenγ glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)and the severi-ty of coronary artery stenosis.Methods According to the results of coronary angiography,a total of 464 patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)were divided into 2 groups by Gensini scores,the low score group(n=342)and the high score group(n=242)one hundred and twenty patients without CAD were asnon CAD group.Results The GGT was higher in CAD group compared with non CAD groups(P<0.05).At the same time,The GGT was higher in the high score group compared with the low score group(P<0.05). A cut off value was 22.50 for GGT prediction of high Gensini score with a sensitivity and specificity of 83.6% and 48.2%,respectively. After multivariate analysis,high levels of GGT were independent predictors of high Gensini score together with age and high density lipoprotein.Conclusion Our study suggests that the GGT is a independent predictors of CAD that may be useful for predict the se-verity of coronary artery stenosis.
