چکیده
Nordin Fredrikson G, Hedblad B, Berglund G, Nilsson J (Malmö University Hospital, Lund University; and Biomedical Laboratory Science, Malmö University, Sweden). Plasma oxidized LDL: a predictor for acute myocardial infarction? J Intern Med 2003; 253: 425–429. Objectives. Oxidized LDL has been attributed a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated increased plasma levels of oxidized LDL in patients with established coronary artery disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate if plasma oxidized LDL also predicts risk for development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Design. We used a nested case–control design to study the association between plasma levels of oxidized LDL and risk for development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and/or death by CHD. Subjects. Oxidized LDL was analysed by ELISA in cases (n 1⁄4 26), controls (n 1⁄4 26) and controls with LDL cholesterol >5.0 mmol L (n 1⁄4 26). Results. Oxidized LDL correlated with total plasma and LDL cholesterol in both cases (r 1⁄4 0.72, P < 0.01, r 1⁄4 0.69, P < 0.01, respectively) and controls (r 1⁄4 0.71, P < 0.01, r 1⁄4 0.77, P < 0.01, respectively). The oxidized LDL/plasma cholesterol ratio was higher amongst cases (13.5, range 10.7– 19.8) than in controls (12.6, range 9.5–15.8, P < 0.05) and hypercholesterolaemic controls (12.2, range 8.0–16.0, P < 0.01). Conclusions. These findings identify high plasma oxidized LDL/total cholesterol ratio as a possible indicator of increased risk for AMI.

متن کاملPersistent high levels of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein after acute myocardial infarction predict stent restenosis.
OBJECTIVE Recently, elevated levels of plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) have been shown to relate to plaque instability in human atherosclerotic lesions. We investigated prospectively patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent primary coronary stenting to evaluate whether the 6-month outcome could be predicted by measuring plasma oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) le...
متن کاملOxidised LDL in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: The metabolism of many fats, including free fatty acids and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the association between circulating ox-LDL and acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: The case control study conducted on 43 patients with acute myocardial infarction ...
متن کاملOxidized LDL and malondialdehyde-modified LDL in patients with acute coronary syndromes and stable coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND The association between oxidative modifications of LDL and coronary artery disease (CAD) is suspected but not established. Therefore, the association between plasma levels of oxidized LDL and malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified LDL and acute coronary syndromes and stable CAD was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population contained 63 patients with acute coronary syndromes (4...
متن کاملOxidative stress correlates with left ventricular volume after acute myocardial infarction.
It has been suggested that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. However, little is known about the clinical relationship between oxidative stress and left ventricular dilatation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We prospectively studied 28 consecutive patients, successfully treated with primary coronary angioplasty, after their first AMI. To evaluate ...
