A vasodilator stress MRI perfusion study: large HDL particle number is independently associated with microvascular function in patients with LDL-C <100mg/dL
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Abnormalities in total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) are associated with microvascular dysfunction. Recent studies suggest that lipoprotein sub-fractions better predict atherogenic burden than a routine lipid panel. We sought to determine, whether lipid sub-fractionation is associated with myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRi), a microvascular function surrogate.

Lipid sub-fractionation predicts worsening myocardial perfusion reserve in patients with low-density lipoprotein less than 100mg/dL: a regadenoson dardiac magnetic resonance study
Background Abnormalities in total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) are associated with microvascular dysfunction and are the primary target for treating atherosclerosis. Newer lipid assays allow for measurements of lipoprotein sub-fractions; however, their impact on microvascular function remain unknown. We sought to determi...
متن کاملLDL 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 کاملEndothelial dysfunction in men with small LDL particles.
BACKGROUND It is unknown whether LDL particle size is, independent of other lipids and lipoproteins, associated with endothelial dysfunction in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined in vivo endothelial function in 34 healthy men by measuring forearm blood flow responses to intrabrachial artery infusions of acetylcholine (ACh, an endothelium-dependent vasodilator) and sodium nitroprusside (a...

Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...
