摘要: Background: Patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) have a high risk of cardiovascular death. The primary aim was to characterize abnormalities in apolipoprotein (Apo)-defined lipoprotein (Lp) subclasses patients ARVD. Methods: Baseline measurements were performed on 42 ARVD 4 weeks after renal angioplasty (PTRA). All statin treatment. Twenty age-matched healthy subjects without medications served as controls. Subsequently, randomized treatment either candesartan (n = 21), or antihypertensive inhibitors the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system 21) and followed for 11 months. Results: At baseline, ApoC-III (12.7 ± 4.6 vs. 8.8 2.6 (SD) mg/dl, p Conclusions: treated statins an atherogenic profile characterized by elevated levels ApoC-III-containing, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins that could accelerate disease.
