Abstract

To compare the plasma lipid levels among hospitalized patients with cardiovascular diseases in 1995 and 2005 in the Pearl River delta region. Representative samples of 8040 patients were obtained from 16 3A hospitals in the Pearl River Delta region and 2239 patients hospitalized in 1995 and 5801 patients hospitalized in 2005 were analyzed. (1) Numbers of hospitalized patients with hypertension, hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) or CAD risk equivalent and patients with hypertension and CAD and CAD risk equivalent were significantly increased in 2005 compared with 1995 (all P = 0.000). (2) Triglycerides (P = 0.033) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (P = 0.000) levels from hospitalized patients were significantly higher while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level (P = 0.000) was significantly lower in 2005 than those in 1995. (3) HDL-C levels of female patients were significantly higher than those of male patients in 1995 (P = 0.045) and 2005 (P = 0.000). (4) The highest cholesterol levels were found in patients with hypertension in 1995 and 2005. LDL-C level was the highest and HDL-C level was the lowest in patients with hypertension and CAD or CAD risk equivalent in 1995. The highest LDL-C...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

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.
