Abstract

Recent advances in image quality of coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) have enabled improved characterization of coronary plaques. Thus, we investigated the association between quantitative morphological plaque markers obtained by cCTA and serum lipid levels in patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. We retrospectively analyzed data of 119 statin-naive patients (55±14 y, 66% men) who underwent clinically indicated cCTA between January 2013 and February 2017. Patients were subdivided into a plaque and a no-plaque group. Quantitative and morphologic plaque markers, such as segment involvement score, segment stenosis score, remodeling index, napkin-ring sign, total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume, and noncalcified plaque volume (NCPV) and plaque composition, were analyzed using a semiautomated plaque software prototype. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio, and triglycerides were determine in both groups. Higher age (61±11 y vs. 52±14 y, P<0.0001) and a higher likelihood of male gender (77% vs. 56%, P<0.0001) were observed in the plaque group. Differences in lipid levels were neither observed for dif...Continue Reading

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.
