Abstract
BACKGROUND
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with angina symptoms and adverse clinical outcomes in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) is reportedly a marker of the initiation and acceleration of epicardial coronary atherosclerosis. However, its impact on CMD remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to investigate the relationship between CMD and MDA-LDL levels.
METHODS
This study included 95 patients who did not receive lipid-lowering medications and had no obstructive CAD. Obstructive CAD was defined as >50% diameter reduction on coronary angiography or fractional flow reserve of ≤0.80. We retrospectively analyzed coronary flow reserve (CFR), index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), and MDA-LDL levels. CMD was defined as either CFR <2.0 or IMR ≥25.
RESULTS
CMD was observed in 29 (31%) patients. MDA-LDL levels were significantly higher in patients with CMD than in those without CMD (124.8 ± 37.6 vs. 95.3 ± 29.5 U/L; p < 0.01). Univariable logistic regression analysis indicated a significant relationship between CMD and MDA-LDL levels (odds ratio (OR): 1.03; p < 0.01). In the multivariable model, MDA-LDL levels were significantly associated with CMD (OR: 1.02; p < 0.01). Regression analysis showed a significant correlation between MDA-LDL levels and CFR (r = -0.42, p < 0.01) and IMR (r = 0.35, p < 0.01). In the multiple regression analysis, MDA-LDL levels were independently associated with CFR (β = -0.30, p < 0.01) and IMR (β = 0.26, p = 0.02).
CONCLUSION
MDA-LDL levels were associated with CMD in patients without obstructive CAD.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
