High lipoprotein (a), diabetes, and the extent of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis

Neurology

Abstract

Lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) has important atherothrombogenic properties, but its role in intracranial atherosclerosis remains unclear. To investigate the relationship between Lp(a) level and the extent of intracranial large-artery occlusive disease. Between June 2001 and August 2003, 166 consecutive first-ever TIA or stroke patients had intracranial stenoses on transcranial Doppler, of which 100 fulfilled all inclusion criteria. The extent of intracranial large-artery occlusive disease was assessed by the number of angiographically confirmed intracranial stenoses. Serum Lp(a) was determined a minimum of 3 months after stroke onset. Two hundred eighty-one intracranial stenoses were documented. Fifty-one (51%) patients had three or more stenoses (greater-extent group). Patients in the highest Lp(a) quartile had a higher adjusted odds ratio (OR) for a greater extent than those in the lowest quartile (OR 3.43, 95% CI 1.04 to 11.33, p = 0.04). A positive correlation was found between Lp(a) concentration and the number of stenoses (r = 0.310, p = 0.002). Moreover, Lp(a) level increased gradually with the number of stenoses (p = 0.02). A multiple logistic regression model identified diabetes (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.04 to 5.57, p = 0.04) and hig...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression 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.
