Background: A more important role of both low and density lipoprotein (LDL-P and HDL-P) than cholesterol (LDL-C and HDL-C) concentration in predicting coronary heart disease (CHD) has been noted. However, the role of these factors and extent of particle-cholesterol discordance in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes (DM) for event prediction is unknown. Methods: In adults aged 45-84 from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a prospective study of subjects without baseline cardiovascular disease, we defined percent discordance of LDL and HDL based on a subject’s difference between baseline particle and cholesterol percentiles. Separate Cox regressions adjusted for standard risk factors were performed to assess the relationship of the continuous lipoprotein discordance variables, as well as LDL-C, LDL-P, HDL-C, and HDL-P, to incident CHD events in those with DM, MetS (without DM), or neither condition. Results: Among 6,417 subjects (52.5% male, mean age 62.1) with 10 year follow-up, those with DM and MetS had significantly greater LDL and HDL discordance compared to those without these conditions (Figure). In discordance models, only LDL discordance [per standard deviation (SD)] within the MetS group was positively associated with CHD events [Hazard Ratio (HR) =1.25, p<0.01]. In models with individual particle/cholesterol variables (per SD), within the DM group, HDL-P was negatively (HR=0.71, p<0.05) and LDL-C positively (HR=1.47, p<0.05) associated with CHD. In those with MetS, only LDL-P was positively associated with CHD (HR=1.34, p<0.05). In those with neither disease, only LDL-C was positively associated with CHD (HR=1.27, p<0.05). Conclusion: LDL discordance (mainly through higher LDL-P) in those with MetS and higher LDL-C with lower HDL-P in those with DM predicts CHD risk. These results support a potential role for examining lipoprotein particles and discordances in persons with MetS and DM to better assess CHD risk.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the contributions of individual metabolic syndrome components to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk vary in patients with different glucose tolerance. METHODS: A total of 1619 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. CHD, metabolic syndrome and glucose tolerance were assessed using coronary angiography, anthropometric and biochemical parameters, and an oral glucose tolerance test, respectively. Associations between CHD and components of metabolic syndrome were determined using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was the only CHD risk factor in patients with both CHD and metabolic syndrome who had normal glucose tolerance, after adjustments for age, smoking and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration. In patients with CHD plus metabolic syndrome and prediabetes, the most important risk factor was hypertension; additional risk factors were high postprandial blood glucose (PBG) and low HDL-C. In patients with CHD plus metabolic syndrome and diabetes, high PBG was the strongest risk factor, followed by hypertension, high FBG and high waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS: Individual components of metabolic syndrome contributed variously to CHD across different glucose tolerance statuses.

Abstract Background: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and small, dense LDL-C (sdLDL-C) are important risk indicator of coronary heart disease (CHD), but their application in therapy monitoring of CHD is still far from being elucidated. Following the concept of precision medicine, we investigated whether the scientific medication based on medication-sensitive genes can reverse the LDL-C and sdLDL-C status in human bloodstream, so as to reveal the possibility of them as a monitoring indicator of CHD efficacy.Methods: A prospective study of CHD cohort containing 208 Chinese CHD patients (158 males and 50 females) and 20 healthy people (14 males and 6 females) was recruited. LDL-C and its subfractions were detected before and after treatment. Polymorphism of medication-sensitive genes, including SLCO1B1 (rs4149056, 521T>C), CYP2C19*2 (rs4244285, c.681G>A), and CYP2C19*3 (rs4986893, c.636G>A) were detected for medication guidance.Results: Nearly half of Chinese CHD patients (47.60%, 99/208) had genetic polymorphisms with homozygous or heterozygous mutations within these three genes. LDL-1 and LDL-2, subfractions of LDL-C, had a 100% positive rate in CHD patients and healthy people. However, sdLDL-C components of LDL-5 to LDL-7 were only enrichment in CHD patients. Moreover, the mean amount of sdLDL-C subfractions in CHD patients was significantly higher than that in healthy people. Among 180 patients with treatment remission, 81.67% (n=147) of CHD patients had decreased LDL-C, while 61.67% (n=111) of patients had decreased sdLDL-C.Conclusion: sdLDL-C has better accuracy on CHD screening than LDL-C, while LDL-C was more suitable for CHD therapy monitoring. Combined medication-sensitive genes polymorphism, LDL-C and sdLDL-C detection would optimize the treatment strategy for CHD patients.

Aims Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, there is uncertainty about the role of total triglycerides and the individual triglyceride-containing lipoprotein sub-fractions. We measured 14 triglyceride-containing lipoprotein sub-fractions using nuclear magnetic resonance and examined associations with coronary heart disease and stroke. Methods Triglyceride-containing sub-fraction measures were available in 11,560 participants from the three UK cohorts free of coronary heart disease and stroke at baseline. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the association of each sub-fraction with coronary heart disease and stroke expressed as the odds ratio per standard deviation increment in the corresponding measure. Results The 14 triglyceride-containing sub-fractions were positively correlated with one another and with total triglycerides, and inversely correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Thirteen sub-fractions were positively associated with coronary heart disease (odds ratio in the range 1.12 to 1.22), with the effect estimates for coronary heart disease being comparable in subgroup analysis of participants with and without type 2 diabetes, and were attenuated after adjustment for HDL-C and LDL-C. There was no evidence for a clear association of any triglyceride lipoprotein sub-fraction with stroke. Conclusions Triglyceride sub-fractions are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease but not stroke, with attenuation of effects on adjustment for HDL-C and LDL-C.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke are common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to explore the differences in the risks of CHD and stroke between Chinese women and men with T2DM and their association with metabolic syndrome (MS). This study included 1514 patients with T2DM. The Asian Guidelines of ATPIII (2005) were used for MS diagnosis, and the UKPDS risk engine was used to evaluate the 10-year CHD and stroke risks. Women had lower CHD risk (15.3% versus 26.3%), fatal CHD risk (11.8% versus 19.0%), stroke risk (8.4% versus 10.3%), and fatal stroke risk (1.4% versus 1.6%) compared with men with T2DM (p<0.05–0.001). The CHD risk (28.4% versus 22.6%, p<0.001) was significantly higher in men with MS than in those without MS. The CHD (16.2% versus 11.0%, p<0.001) and stroke risks (8.9% versus 5.8%, p<0.001) were higher in women with MS than in those without MS. In conclusion, our findings indicated that Chinese women with T2DM are less susceptible to CHD and stroke than men. Further, MS increases the risk of both these events, highlighting the need for comprehensive metabolic control in T2DM.
