LDL-Cholesterol Is Not the Only Clinically Relevant Biomarker for Coronary Artery Disease or Acute Coronary Syndrome

Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Patrick A Field, Ramachandran S Vasan

Abstract

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a progressive disorder and its risk is best determined using multiple biomarkers and risk factors. Many novel biomarkers have been shown to improve cardiovascular disease risk beyond that of the traditional risk factors, including polygenic risk scores, small very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), ApoB, triglycerides (TG), non-HDL-c, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), coronary calcium scores, C-reactive protein (CRP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponins, and many other novel biomarkers that have been measured using high throughput assays.

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.

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.

Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
