Association between LDL-C, Non HDL-C, and Apolipoprotein B Levels with Coronary Plaque Regression

Association between LDL-C, Non HDL-C, and Apolipoprotein B Levels with Coronary Plaque Regression

BACKGROUND Previous reports have inferred a linear relationship between LDL-C and changes in coronary plaque volume (CPV) measured by intravascular ultrasound. However, these publications included a small number of studies and did not explore other lipid markers. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between changes in lipid markers and regression of CPV using published data. METHODS We colle...

The association between small dense low density lipoprotein,apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio and coronary artery stenosis

  Abstract   Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been   highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense   LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by   arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density   lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...

LDL pattern and correlation between LDL size and HDL-C, Triglyceride in type II diabetic patients compared with normal individuals

Introduction: Low density lipoprotein particles are non homogenous in terms of their density and composition. Type B pattern is characterized by predominance of small dense LDL particles. Investigations indicate that small dense LDL is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study is designed to recognize additional effective parameter which could perhaps cont...

Remnant cholesterol: "Non-(HDL-C + LDL-C)" as a coronary artery disease risk factor.

In this issue the Journal, Varbo et al. (1) demonstrate that irrespective of the fasting state, the cholesterol transported by remnant lipoproteins is a robust predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Their findings provide clarification to the debate regarding triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and atherosclerosis (2). Overall, a consensus is emerging on the basis of clinical and populatio...
