• CORONARY ARTERY DIRECT IS A SERIOUS BUT COMMON TYPE OF HART DIRECARE THAT CAN LEAD TO HEART ATTACKS.
  • A Recent Study Suggests That Measuring Levels of Apolipoprotein B Particles and Lipoprotein (a) Could Help Predict The Risk of Coronary Artery Disease.
  • You are findings could contribute to Shift in Heart Disease Screening Practices.

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Coronary Artery Disease “is caused by plate buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart.” It can lead to Heart Attacks, Making Prevention, Screening, and Interventions Critical.

One of Interst is Tests Surrounding Cholesterol Levels and How before Reat to Coronary Artery Disease.

A Study Recently Published in the European Heart Journal THOROUGHLY LOOKED AT LIPOPROTEINS THAT HAV APOLIPOPROTEIN B. LIPOPROTEINS HELP CARRY FAT THROUGUUT THE BODY. APOLIPOPROTEIN B IS A PROTEIN THAT IS KEY TO THE LIPOPROTEINS THAT CARY “BAD” CHOLLESTEROL.

The Study Found That Apolipoprotein B Partle Count and Lipoprotein (A) Count Were Critical Indicators of Risk for Coronary Artery Disease Related to Lipids.

Cholesterol Markers Effective at Predicting Heart Disease Risk

The Refectchers Who Driving This Study Wanted To See The Type, Count, and Size of Apolipoprotein B-Containing Lipoprotein Particles (APOB-P) AFFECTED THE RISK FOR CORONARY ARTERY DIRECT.

Patrick Kee, MD, PHD, A Cardiologist With Vital Heart & Vein, Who Was Not Involved in the Study, explained to Medical News Today That:

“Apob, to Structural Protein, is present in all atherogenic lipoproteins, including ldl (low-density lipoprotein), Vldl (very-low-density lipoprotein), and idl (intermediate-density lipoprotein). Measure of the Number of Atherogenic Particles in the Bloodstream.

The Authors of this Study Note That Measuring the Concentration of Apob “Reflects Total Apob-P count in plasma.” Lipoprotein (a) is the Another Lipoprotein that Falls under the apob-p Umbrella.

Refrachers Looked at Participant Data from A UK Biobank Subcoort. They excluded participants Who Had Coronary Artery Disease and Other Conditions Like Stroke Before The Study, As Well As People Who Were Taking Lipid-Lowering Medications.

THE ANALYSIS INCUDED 207,386 participants. Throughout the follow-up, 7,585 participants Developed Coronary Artery Disease. Additionionally, Refracchers Did External Replication Analysis Using 10,857 participants from the Swedish Infrastructure for Medical Population-Based Life-Course and Environmental Research (Simpler).

The Referechers Considers of Coronary Artery Disease to Be Events Like Hospitalization Or Death from a Heart Attack. Their Statistical Analysis Accouted for Multiple Factors Like “Good” Cholesterol Partle Count, Blood Pressure, and Body Mass Index.

They Analyzed Several Lipoproteins and the Related Risk for Coronary Artery Disease. Overall, Apob-P was associated with an increased Risk for Coronary Artery Disease.

One Standard Deviation increased in Apob-P Translate to 33% Greater Risk of Developing Coronary Artery Disease. In the Simpler Population, This Same Increased Translate to 26% increased in risk for coronary artery disease.

RECGRDING THE APOB-CONTAINING LIPOPROTEIN TYPE, HIGHE, VERY LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH A GREATER RISK FOR CORONARY ARTERY DIRECARE. However, Vry High Counts of Apob-P Appeared to Eliminate This Risk.

They Also Found That the Higher Per-Particle Risk from Vry Low-Density Lipoproteins Appeared to Be Balanched by The Greater Amount of Low-Density Lipoproteins.

Higher Lipoprotein (a) Linked to Coronary Artery Disease Risk

The Did Replace Partle Type Count with Triglyceride Concentrations. The Triglyceride Concentrations in the Vary-Low-Density Lipoprotein and the intermediate-density Lipoprotein plus low-density lipoprotein Groups appeared to increase the risk for coronary artery disease. AT High Levels of Apob-P, This Association Went Away.

The Size of Lipoprotein Particles Appeared to Not AFFECT CORONARY ARTERY DIRECTE RISK AFTER ADJUSTING FOR APOB-P. When it came to Vary Low-Density Lipoproteins, There Still Sub Impact.

Overall, The Results suggesta that at Higher Apob-P Levels, The Impact of Different-Siss, Vary-Low-Density Lipoproteins Did Not Impact Coronary Artery Disease Risk.

The Authors Concluded That “The Lipid-Related Risk for (Coronary Artery Disease) is Most Accurely Refleced by The Total Count of Apob-P and Is Largely Unaffecthed by Major Particle Type (Vldl, Idl/LDL), Count, Or Size.”

WHEN IT CAME TO LIPOPROTEIN (A), A HIGHER LIPOPROTEIN (A) COUNT WAS STILL ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASED RISK FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING FOR APOB-P.

Study Author Jakub Morze, MD, PHD, FESC, HIGHIGTED THE MAIN FINDINGS OF THE REESARCH TO MNTNoting That:

“In a Large, Healthy Population Without Prior Heart Disease Or Lipid-Lowering Therapy, The Total Number of Athelerogenic Lipoprotein Particles (Apob-Containing Particles) Emerged as The Strongest Lipid-Related Risk Risk Factor For Coronary Artery Disease, Regardless Of Their Type LDL) or size.

Study Limitations

This Research is observational, So it cannot provision, and there is risk for residual confounding.

The UK Biobank Primarily Includes White Participants, The Participants tend to be Healthier than the General Population, and Most Participants were Middle-Aged At Recruitment, which Limits the generalizability.

ADDITIONAL STUDIES CAN SEE If there are similar results in other Groups. It also indicates The Need For More Research in More at-Risk Population.

Sub Data From The UK Biobank Came from Participant Self-Reporting, Which Might Not Always Align With Real-Life Situations. Missing Data Could Also have affected results.

One Measurement Tool, The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Platform, Did Not evaluate The Lipoprotein (A). It is positive that, for People with Vry High Lipoprotein (A), Apob-P Levels were Underestimated.

The Refectchers Notted That The NMR Platform used plasma samples and quantified lipoprotein (a) in serum, so This could have affected the results. The NMR Breakdown of Size Subclasses Also Might Not Line Up With Size Measurements of Other Testing Methods.

They Also Acknowledged that inflammation could contributes to the observed results, and this wouled be submissive to explore in Further Research.

Future Research Could Also Explore The True Effects of Vry-Density Lipoproteins on Coronary Artery Disease Risk, particularly in People Who Have Higher Levels of these Lipoproteins, and whether it might benefit to look at Vray Low-Density Lipoproteins Specifically. Furthermore, It Should continue to explore the Impact of Lipoprotein (A).

Should Doctors Change How Offe Check Cholesterol Levels?

This Study and Exponding Research Coul Help Shift Testing Strategies to Better Predict Risk for Coronary Artery Disease.

Morze Note That:

“BeSe Findings Support to Shift in Clinical Practice Toward Routinely Measuring Apob and LP (A) To Better Assess Cardiovascular Risk, Specially in Primary Prevention. Targeting Apob and LP (a) Directly May Improve Prevention Strategies, As Relying Solyly On Ldl Cholesterol Could WHO STILL HAV HIGH RISK LIVE NORMAL ‘LDL-C LEVELS.

IT Also Highlights The Importance of Testing for Lipoprotein (A), and People Can Discuss Getting This Test Their Doctors.

Yu-Ming Ni, MD, A Board Certified Cardiologist and Lipidologist at Memorialcare Heart and Vascular Institute at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Ca, Who Was Also Not Involved in the Study MNT that “This Study Also Helps to Show The Importance of (Lipoprotein (a)).”

“This Partle (Lipoprotein (a)), you have shown in prior prior studies and in this on (be associated) with hygher rates of (atherosclerotic cardiovascular desaarac Problems), ”or Poleded out.

“I Routinely Test My Patients for This Partle, and there are therapies for lpa that are in clinical trials and may show usefulness for preventing.
