Genetically elevated non-fasting triglycerides and calculated remnant cholesterol as causal risk factors for myocardial infarction.
AIMS Elevated non-fasting triglycerides mark elevated levels of remnant cholesterol. Using a Mendelian randomization approach, we tested whether genetically increased remnant cholesterol in hypertriglyceridaemia due to genetic variation in the apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) associates with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS AND RESULTS We resequenced the core promoter an...
متن کاملGenetically elevated lipoprotein(a) and increased risk of myocardial infarction.
CONTEXT High levels of lipoprotein(a) are associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE To assess whether genetic data are consistent with this association being causal. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Three studies of white individuals from Copenhagen, Denmark, were used: the Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS), a prospective general population study with 16 year...
متن کاملElevated triglycerides and risk of myocardial infarction in HIV-positive persons.
OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship between elevated triglyceride levels and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in HIV-positive persons after adjustment for total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and nonlipid risk factors. BACKGROUND Although elevated triglyceride levels are commonly noted in HIV-positive individuals, it is unclear whether they represent a...
متن کاملElevated skin tissue cholesterol levels and myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Skin cholesterol has been associated with coronary artery disease, extent of angiographic disease and inflammatory markers such as hs-CRP. Based on these findings we sought to determine whether skin cholesterol was associated with myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS Patients (N = 649) underwent diagnostic catheterization and concurrent skin cholesterol measurement. History of MI wa...
متن کاملEarly myocardial infarction and its risk factors in patients admitted in Rasul-e-Akram Hospital
Introduction: Following urbanization of developing world and increase in prevalence of risk factors for Ischemic Heart Diseases (IHD), the major global burden of IHD is in low and middle income countries. This study was designed to determine trends in early MI (Myocardial Infarction) during ten years and comparison of its risk factors with other patients with MI. Methods: In this cross-s...
