A comparison of the NCEP-ATPIII, IDF and AHA/NHLBI metabolic syndrome definitions with relation to early carotid atherosclerosis in subjects with hypercholesterolemia or at risk of CVD: evidence for sex-specific differences

Atherosclerosis
Michael R SkiltonFabrice Bonnet

Abstract

The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic patients remains unknown. We examined the association between carotid atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome definitions using the NCEP-ATPIII, International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI) definitions in 1782 subjects at risk of cardiovascular disease including 926 with hypercholesterolemia (LDL cholesterol > or =160 mg/dL; mean=203 mg/dL). Irrespective of definition, carotid intima-media thickness was significantly higher in both men and women diagnosed with the MetS compared to those without MetS. This relationship persists in males with hypercholesterolemia, independently of LDL cholesterol level. Regression analyses, both unadjusted and adjusted for traditional risk factors, indicate that in males the AHA/NHLBI definition, and in females the IDF definition are the strongest predictors of carotid atherosclerosis. These results highlight important gender differences that exist in the current clinical definitions of the metabolic syndrome, with regards to predicting early...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular risk prediction models based on classical risk factors identified in epidemiological studies are useful in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals. Here is the latest research.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more.
