Summary Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition that develops due to accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque in the epicardial coronary arteries, leading to myocardial ischemia. It is the leading cause of death worldwide and is a common complex disease. A study was carried out in a group of 496 patients with acute coronary syndrome or with angiographic or stress test evidence for coronary artery disease, admitted to the Department of Cardiology at Lourdes Heart Institute and Neuro Centre during the period June-August 2012. The risk factors studied were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, body mass index, smoking and family history of CAD. The results demonstrated that in both males and females of the Indian population studies, diabetes and dyslipidemia were major risk factors for CAD, while hypertension was not a major risk factor. Therefore, early detection and treatment of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia play a vital role in prevention of CAD in Indian population.

Abstract The role of inflammation in all phases of atherosclerotic process is well established and soluble TREM-like transcript 1 (sTLT1) is reported to be associated with chronic inflammation. Yet, no information is available about the involvement of sTLT1 in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Present study was undertaken to determine the pathophysiological significance of sTLT1 in atherosclerosis by employing an observational study on human subjects (n=117) followed by experiments in human macrophages and atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E (apoE)−/− mice. Plasma level of sTLT1 was found to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in clinical (2342 ± 184 pg/ml) and subclinical cases (1773 ± 118 pg/ml) than healthy controls (461 ± 57 pg/ml). Moreover, statistical analyses further indicated that sTLT1 was not only associated with common risk factors for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in both clinical and subclinical groups but also strongly correlated with disease severity. Ex vivo studies on macrophages showed that sTLT1 interacts with Fcɣ receptor I (FcɣRI) to activate spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-mediated downstream MAP kinase signalling cascade to activate nuclear factor-κ B (NF-kB). Activation of NF-kB induces secretion of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) from macrophage cells that plays pivotal role in governing the persistence of chronic inflammation. Atherosclerotic apoE−/− mice also showed high levels of sTLT1 and TNF-α in nearly occluded aortic stage indicating the contribution of sTLT1 in inflammation. Our results clearly demonstrate that sTLT1 is clinically related to the risk factors of CAD. We also showed that binding of sTLT1 with macrophage membrane receptor, FcɣR1 initiates inflammatory signals in macrophages suggesting its critical role in thrombus development and atherosclerosis.
