Key result
Lower serum TRF and LGP2 levels are linked to CHD and worse cardiac function.
Why the study?
To explore the correlation between serum T cell replacing factor (TRF) and liver glutathione peroxidase 2 (LGP2) levels and cardiac function in patients with coronary heart disease.
Case-Control (n=492)
Serum TRF and LGP2 levels are significantly decreased in patients with coronary heart disease and correlate strongly with worsening cardiac function and structural remodeling.

Lower TRF and LGP2 levels associate with CHD severity; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective validation before clinical use.
Background: To explore the correlation between serum T cell replacing factor (TRF) and liver glutathione peroxidase 2 (LGP2) levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiac function. Methods: From October 2023 to October 2025, 252 patients with CHD who visited our hospital were selected for the disease group, among whom 72 had NYHA cardiac function grade II, 124 grade III, and 56 grade IV The control group consisted of an additional 240 healthy patients who had physical examinations at our institution over the same time period. Baseline data for CHD patients were gathered. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to evaluate the blood levels of TRF, LGP2, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) in each patient group. A colour scale was used to quantify the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), cardiac output (CO), interventricular septal thickness (IVS), and left ventricular mass (LV mass) of the CHD patients. Doppler ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. The relationship between blood TRF and LGP2 levels and cardiac function markers in CHD patients was examined using Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The disease group's systolic blood pressure and LDL-C levels were significantly higher than those of the control group, whereas serum TRF LGP2, and HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels were significantly lower in the disease group (P<0.05). Serum BNP and CK-MB levels were significantly higher in the illness group than in the control group, and LVESD, LVEDD, LV mass, and IVS were also significantly higher. At the same time, the LVEF and CO were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). NYHA-related cardiac function grade IV CHD patients had significantly lower LVEF, CO, and serum TRF and LGP2 levels than grade III and II patients did. The LVEF CO, and serum TRF and LGP2 levels of grade III CHD patients were significantly lower than those of grade II patients were, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); NYHA-related cardiac function grade IV patients had significantly greater LVESD, LVEDD, LV mass, and IVS than grade III and II patients were, and the serum BNP and CK-MB levels were significantly greater than those of grade III and II patients were (P<0.05). The LVESD, LVEDD, LV mass, and IVS of grade III CHD patients were significantly greater than those of grade II patients, and the serum BNP and CK-MB levels were significantly greater in grade III CHD patients than in grade II patients (P<0.05). Serum TRF and LGP2 levels in patients with CHD were negatively correlated with BNP CK-MB, LVESD, LVEDD, LV mass, and IVS (P<0.05) and positively correlated with LVEF and CO (P<0.05). Conclusion: The serum levels of TRF and LGP2 in patients with CHD were significantly decreased, and both were closely related to cardiac function indicators.

Cui et al. (2026) conducted a case-control in Coronary heart disease (n=492). Serum TRF and LGP2 levels vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Correlation between serum TRF and LGP2 levels and cardiac function markers (p=<0.05). Serum TRF and LGP2 levels were lower in patients with coronary heart disease compared to healthy controls and correlated with worse cardiac function indicators.
