Abstract

This clinical trial explores the correlation between serum lipoprotein and the severity of aortic valve sclerosis in patients diagnosed with aortic valve sclerosis (AVS). A total of 1260 subjects diagnosed with AVS were enrolled in this study between May 2005 and June 2013 and divided into the young-aged (30-59 years, n=217), middle-aged (60-74 years, n=561) and elderly groups (75-93 years, n=482). In each group, patients were sub-grouped into AVS and healthy controls according to angiography findings. Parameters including triglyceride (TG), serum total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), free fatty acid (FFA), lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], apolipoprotein A1 (ApoAl) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were accurately measured. Correlation between these parameters and the severity of AVS was statistically evaluated. In the middle-aged and elderly groups, serum Lp(a), TC and LDL-C were significantly higher in patients with AVS compared with healthy counterparts (both P<0.05). In the elderly group, serum HDL-C in AVS patients was significantly lower than healthy subjects (P<0.05). In the young-aged group, serum Lp(a) and ApoB were significantly increased compared with hea...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.
