Evaluation of non-HDL-c and total cholesterol: HDL-c ratio as cumulative marker of cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD), is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes and have approximately--two to four times higher CVD rate than adult without diabetes. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is primarily used as the marker of cardiovascular risk in diabetes despite its several limitations. Although several newer markers of CVD are emerging,...
متن کاملTotal cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio vs LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio as indices of ischemic heart disease risk in men: the Quebec Cardiovascular Study.
BACKGROUND Total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratios are used to predict ischemic heart disease risk. There is, however, no consensus on which of these 2 indices is superior. The objective of the present study was to present evidence that the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio may underestimate ischemic heart disease risk in ...
متن کاملReference intervals for serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol in Batswana adults.
Reference intervals of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations were determined on 309 blood donors from an urban and peri-urban population of Botswana. Using non-parametric methods to establish 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution, the intervals were: total cholesterol 2.16 - 5.52 mmol/l; non-HDL cholesterol 1.22 - 4.48 mmol/l; and HDL cholesterol 0...
متن کاملHDL and cardiovascular risk: is cholesterol in particle subclasses relevant?
Dyslipidaemia is one of the major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death in the world. Despite major advances in the treatment of dyslipidaemia, residual cardiovascular risk remains high in a significant number of patients, a fact that has prompted intensive investigation of medications raising HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C). Indeed, robust...
متن کاملTriglyceride-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in the dyslipidemic classification of type 2 diabetes.
A lthough LDL cholesterol is the main target in the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemia, it does not fully account for the cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes, neither alone nor in combination with triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. On the other hand, diabetic dyslipidemia also includes an overall increase in atherogenic particles identifiable, by measuring apolipoprotein B (apoB), and ...
