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...
متن کاملThe effect of decreasing statin's dosage on LDL-C levels after target levels achieved.
OBJECTIVE Evidences from clinical trials had demonstrated that statins reduce the risk of cardio-cerebral vascular events. But lipid lowering therapy (LLT) was suboptimal in stroke patients and clinically, observation of reducing the dosage of statins is common when target low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level achieved. We aim to explore the changes in lipid profile after reducing s...
متن کاملLDL-C/HDL-C Ratio Predicts Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression Better Than HDL-C or LDL-C Alone
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) are strong predictors of atherosclerosis. Statin-induced changes in the ratio of LDL-C to HDL-C (LDL-C/HDL-C) predicted atherosclerosis progression better than LDL-C or HDL-C alone. However, the best predictor of subclinical atherosclerosis remains unknown. Our objective was to investigate this issue by...
متن کاملHigh Blood Pressure, FBS and LDL-C among Diabetic Iranians
Introduction: Control of blood pressure, fasting plasma sugar (FPS) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces to vascular complications of diabetes. In this study we determined the prevalence of diabetic individuals with uncontrolled blood pressure, FPS and LDL-C. Materials and Methods: We used data from three national Surveys of Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Disease (SuRFNCD) ...
متن کاملDeterminants for Achieving the LDL-C Target of Lipid Control for Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Taiwan
BACKGROUND Epidemiological and clinical studies have clearly established the link between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular consequences. Although it has been a common practice for physicians to prescribe lipid-lowering therapy for patients with dyslipidemia, the achievement rate is still not satisfied in Taiwan. Therefore, the determinants f...
