Short-term Prognostic Value of Lipid Measurements in Patients with Angina pectoris

摘要: We studied the role of various markers lipid metabolism, hemostasis and inflammation in a two year follow-up 3000 patients with angina pectoris, during which time 106 experienced myocardial infarction or sudden coronary death. Low levels high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol apolipoprotein (apo) A-I were most strongly associated increased risk. The relative risk per standard deviation increase was 0.68 for HDL (95% confidence interval 0.55 to 0.84) 0.66 apoA-I (0.54 0.81). These associations independent other factors, measurements, hemostatic C-reactive protein (CRP). total LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, apoB, lipoprotein( a) events not factors. conclude that apoA-I, CRP are important prognostic secondary prevention.
