Abstract

This study examined the accuracy of a triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio of 3.8 for the prediction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) phenotype B. The ratio of 3.8 was based on Adult Treatment Panel recommendations for normal fasting triglycerides (<150 mg/dl) and HDL cholesterol (>40 mg/dl). Fasting blood samples were obtained from 658 patients. LDL phenotype analysis was performed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A triglyceride/HDL cholesterol ratio of 3.8 divided the distribution of LDL phenotypes with 79% (95% confidence interval [CI] 74 to 83) of phenotype B greater than and 81% (95% CI 77 to 85) of phenotype A less than the ratio of 3.8. The ratio was reliable for identifying LDL phenotype B in men and women.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
