Background : Inflammation plays a role in the development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), with circulating markers of vascular inflammation being used in risk assessment including high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (LpPLA 2 ). While hsCRP responds to the systemic inflammatory stimulus of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), LpPLA 2 has been proposed to be more vascular-specific and to vary minimally based upon clinical presentation. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated both biomarkers among CAD patients presenting with stable angina (SA), unstable angina (USA) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods : LpPLA 2 (PLAC TM test, diaDexus, Inc.) and hsCRP were measured from samples donated by consenting patients (N=1,010) enrolled in the registry of the Intermountain Heart Collaborative Study that underwent angiographic evaluation for CAD. Patients were categorized by presentation status (SA=637; USA=205; and AMI=168), stratified according to median levels of LpPLA 2 (350.2 ng/mL) and hsCRP above and below 3 mgl/L and followed for 7.5 ± 2.4 years for CAD death. Results : Age averaged 64 ± 12 years and 70% were male. While median hsCRP (mg/L) levels differed significantly by presentation [2.86, 2.80, and 13.7 for SA, USA, and AMI, respectively (p<0.0001)], median LpPLA 2 (ng/mL) levels [350.2, 353.1, and 348.1 for SA, USA, and AMI, respectively (p=0.67)], did not. LpPLA 2 was not only a better predictor of CAD death among the entire cohort (LpPLA 2 : adjusted Hazard Ratio [HR]= 1.47, p=0.04; hsCRP: adjusted HR=0.95, p=0.81), it was a better predictor among patients presenting with AMI (LpPLA 2 : adjusted HR3 1.80, p=0.30; hsCRP adjusted HR=0.76, p=0.63). Conclusions : Among CAD patients, LpPLA 2 varies minimally among differing presentations compared to hsCRP and is a better a predictor of CAD death among those presenting with AMI. This information supports the hypothesis that LpPLA 2 is a vascular specific marker of inflammation and independent of transient systemic inflammatory effects.

Abstract Background It has been reported that coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by inflammation and non-obstructive CAD (NOCAD) increases the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) compared with ones with normal or near-normal coronary arteries (NNCA), even is similar to obstructive CAD (OCAD). We hypothesized that elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be linked to CVEs in those patients with NOCAD. Purpose To investigate the predictive role of hs-CRP in patients with NOCAD. Methods Of 7,746 consecutive patients with angina-like chest pain admissions, 4,662 eligible patients were enrolled who received coronary artery angiography (CAG) and followed up for the CVEs comprising all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and late revascularization. According to the results of CAG, the patients were classified as NNCA group (<20% stenosis, n=698, 15.0%), NOCAD group (20–49% stenosis, n=639, 14.3%), and OCAD group (≥50% stenosis, n=3325, 70.7%). They were further subdivided into 3 groups according to baseline hs-CRP levels (<1, 1–3 and >3 mg/L). Proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of CVEs in all patients enrolled. Results A total of 338 patients (7.3%) experienced CVEs during an average of 13403 person-years follow-up. Patients with NOCAD and OCAD had higher rates of CVEs compared to those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). In Cox's models after adjustment of confounders, the risk of CVEs elevated with the increasing degrees of CAD with hazard ratio of 2.01 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.07–3.79, p=0.03] for patients with NOCAD and 2.81 (95% CI: 1.60–4.93, p<0.001) for patients with OCAD compared with the NNCA group. Moreover, elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with the severity of coronary lesions and an elevated increased risk of CVEs in patients with NOCAD and OCAD compared those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). Conclusions Patients with NOCAD had indeed worse outcomes and hs-CRP levels were positively in relation to the CVEs in those with NOCAD, which may help to the risk assessment in ones with NOCAD.
