Abstract

To determine whether the level of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] contributes to an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We prospectively evaluated established cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic control, and Lp(a) levels in 53 men with NIDDM and CAD and compared these variables in 42 male patients with NIDDM but without CAD. The groups were comparable for age, diabetes control, treatment and duration of diabetes, obesity, and other cardiac risk factors. Lp(a) levels did not differ between the groups (12.2 versus 12.4 mg/dL in those with and without CAD, respectively) and were unrelated to age, duration of diabetes, diabetes control, obesity, smoking, hypertension, urinary albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Patients with retinopathy had a higher Lp(a) concentration than did those without retinopathy (24.9 +/- 6.0 versus 10.1 +/- 1.5 mg/dL; P = 0.01). A significant correlation existed between Lp(a) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations (P = 0.01). Routine measurement of Lp(a) level in patients with NIDDM does not seem warranted because no association was found between Lp(a) concentration and CAD in t...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

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.
