Metabolomic Characterization of Fatty Acids in Patients With Coronary Artery Ectasias.

ABSTRACT: Background: We used a targeted metabolomics approach to identify fatty acid (FA) metabolites that distinguished patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE) from healthy Controls and patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and methods: Two hundred fifty-two human subjects were enrolled in our study, such as patients with CAE, patients with CAD, and Controls. All the subjects were diagnosed by coronary angiography. Plasma metabolomic profiles of FAs were determined by an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometric (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS). Results: Ninety-nine plasma metabolites were profiled in the discovery sets (n = 72), such as 35 metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and doco
