The fact that lipoprotein(a) levels should be regarded as a causal residual risk factor in the atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) is now a no-brainer. This review article aims to summarize the latest evidence supporting the causal role of lipoprotein(a) in ASCVD and the potential strategies to reduce the lipoprotein(a) burden until clinical trial results are available. Epidemiological and genetic data demonstrate the causal link between lipoprotein(a) and increased ASCVD risk. That being said, a specific question comes to mind: “must we wait for outcome trials in order to take action?”. Given that lipoprotein(a) levels predict incident ASCVD in both primary and secondary prevention contexts, with a linear risk gradient across its distribution, measuring lipoprotein(a) can unequivocally help identify patients who may later benefit from specific lipoprotein(a)-lowering therapies. This understanding has led various National Societies to recommend dosing lipoprotein(a) in high-risk individuals and to support the recommendation of measuring lipoprotein(a) levels at least once in every adult for risk stratification.
脂蛋白(a)水平应被视为动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)的一个因果残余危险因素,这一点现在已毋庸置疑。这篇综述文章旨在总结支持脂蛋白(a)在 ASCVD 中的因果作用的最新证据,以及在临床试验结果出来之前减轻脂蛋白(a)负担的潜在策略。流行病学和遗传学数据证明了脂蛋白(a)与 ASCVD 风险增加之间的因果关系。尽管如此,我还是想到了一个具体的问题:"我们是否必须等到临床试验结果出来后才能采取行动?鉴于脂蛋白(a)水平在一级和二级预防中都能预测急性心血管疾病的发生,且其分布呈线性风险梯度,因此测量脂蛋白(a)能明确帮助识别日后可能从特定的降低脂蛋白(a)疗法中获益的患者。基于这一认识,多个国家学会建议对高危人群使用脂蛋白(a)剂量,并支持对每个成年人至少测量一次脂蛋白(a)水平以进行风险分层的建议。

Adherence to the Healthy Nordic Food Index is associated with reduced plasma levels of inflammatory markers in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia 遵守北欧健康食品指数与降低杂合子家族性高胆固醇血症患者血浆中的炎症标志物水平有关
IF 1.4 Q3 PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE Pub Date : 2024-12-01 Epub Date: 2024-10-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.athplu.2024.10.003

Background and aims

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disease associated with hypercholesterolemia, and dietary treatment is part of the treatment. We aimed to assess the dietary pattern in relation to the Healthy Nordic Food Index (HNFI) in adults with and without heterozygous FH (HeFH), and to examine the associations between dietary quality and biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease in adults with HeFH.

Methods

We included 205 adults (≥18 years) with HeFH who received follow-up at the Lipid Clinic in Oslo and compared them to controls (n = 228). Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire and dietary quality was assessed using the HNFI. Blood samples were analysed for levels of blood lipids, plasma fatty acids (FAs), and markers of inflammation and platelet activation.

Results

The HeFH patients (median 60 years; 50.2 % female; 25.9 % in secondary prevention) had lower intake of total and saturated fat compared to controls (32.6 energy percent (E%) vs. 34.9 E%, and 9.6 E% vs 12.0 E%, respectively; p < 0.001 for both). In the HeFH patients, increasing dietary quality was associated with increased plasma levels of the n-3 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, and the n-6 PUFA linoleic acid, and lower plasma levels of the inflammatory cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor and interleukin-6, and of the platelet-derived inflammatory cytokines Platelet Factor 4 and Neutrophil-Activating Peptide-2.

Conclusion

Norwegian patients with HeFH followed up at a Lipid Clinic eat healthier than controls. Adherence to a healthy dietary pattern is associated with higher plasma levels of n-3 and n-6 PUFA, and lower levels of inflammatory markers, including platelet markers. This may suggest that adherence to an overall healthy dietary pattern might be beneficial for HeFH patients independent of the cholesterol-lowering effect of the diet.
背景和目的家族性高胆固醇血症(FH)是一种与高胆固醇血症相关的遗传性疾病,饮食治疗是治疗方法的一部分。我们的目的是评估患有和未患有杂合子高胆固醇血症(HeFH)的成年人的饮食模式与北欧健康食品指数(HNFI)的关系,并研究患有高胆固醇血症的成年人的饮食质量与心血管疾病相关生物标志物之间的关系。方法我们纳入了在奥斯陆血脂诊所接受随访的 205 名患有高胆固醇血症的成年人(≥18 岁),并将他们与对照组(n = 228)进行了比较。膳食摄入量通过食物频率问卷进行评估,膳食质量通过 HNFI 进行评估。结果与对照组相比,HeFH 患者(中位数为 60 岁;50.2% 为女性;25.9% 为二级预防患者)的总脂肪和饱和脂肪摄入量较低(能量百分比 (E%) 分别为 32.6% 和 34.9%,能量百分比分别为 9.6% 和 12.0%;两者的 p 均为 0.001)。在 HeFH 患者中,饮食质量的提高与血浆中 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFAs)二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸以及 n-6 多不饱和脂肪酸亚油酸水平的升高有关,与血浆中炎症细胞因子肿瘤坏死因子和白细胞介素-6 以及血小板衍生炎症细胞因子血小板因子 4 和中性粒细胞活化肽-2 水平的降低有关。结论在血脂诊所接受随访的挪威 HeFH 患者的饮食比对照组更健康。坚持健康的饮食模式与血浆中较高水平的 n-3 和 n-6 PUFA 以及较低水平的炎症标志物(包括血小板标志物)有关。这可能表明,坚持整体健康的饮食模式可能对 HeFH 患者有益,而与饮食的降胆固醇作用无关。

Background and aims

The 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia consider the use of high-dose marine omega-3 fatty acid (FA) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) supplementation (icosapent ethyl 2 × 2g/day) to lower residual cardiovascular risk in high-risk patients with hypertriglyceridemia. This study aimed to assess the eligibility for omega-3 FA-EPA supplementation in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Methods

In a prospective Swiss cohort of patients hospitalized for ACS, eligibility for marine omega-3 FA-EPA, defined as plasma triglyceride levels ranging from 1.5 to 5.6 mmol/l, was assessed at baseline and one-year follow-up and compared across subgroups. Lipid-lowering therapy intensification with statin and ezetimibe was modelled to simulate a hypothetical systematic treatment and its effect on omega-3 FA-EPA supplementation eligibility.

Results

Of 2643 patients, 98 % were prescribed statin therapy at discharge, including 62 % at a high-intensity regimen; 93 % maintained it after one year, including 53 % at a high-intensity regimen. The use of ezetimibe was 3 % at discharge and 7 % at one year. Eligibility was observed in 32 % (32 % men, 29 % women) one year post-ACS. After modelling systematic treatment with statins, ezetimibe, and both, eligibility decreased to 31 %, 25 % and 24 %, respectively. Eligibility was higher in individuals aged <70 (34 vs 25 %), smokers (38 vs 28 %), diabetics (46 vs 29 %), hypertensive (35 vs 29 %), and obese patients (46 vs 22 % for normal weight), all with p-values <0.001.

Conclusion

In a contemporary Swiss cohort of patients with ACS, up to 32 % would be eligible for omega-3 FA-EPA supplementation one year after ACS, highlighting an opportunity to mitigate residual cardiovascular risk in patients with ACS and hypertriglyceridemia.

背景和目的2019年欧洲心脏病学会血脂异常管理指南考虑使用高剂量海洋ω-3脂肪酸(FA)二十碳五烯酸(EPA)补充剂(icosapent ethyl 2 × 2g/天)来降低高甘油三酯血症高危患者的残余心血管风险。本研究旨在评估急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者补充欧米伽-3 FA-EPA 的资格。方法在瑞士的前瞻性 ACS 住院患者队列中,对血浆甘油三酯水平介于 1.5 至 5.6 mmol/l 之间的患者补充海洋欧米伽-3 FA-EPA 的资格进行基线评估和一年随访,并在不同亚组之间进行比较。对使用他汀和依折麦布加强降脂治疗的情况进行了模拟,以模拟假设的系统治疗及其对ω-3 FA-EPA补充资格的影响。出院时使用依折麦布的比例为 3%,一年后为 7%。32% 的患者(男性 32%,女性 29%)在 ACS 一年后符合条件。在对他汀类药物、依折麦布和两者进行系统治疗建模后,合格率分别降至 31%、25% 和 24%。年龄为 70 岁(34% 对 25%)、吸烟者(38% 对 28%)、糖尿病患者(46% 对 29%)、高血压患者(35% 对 29%)和肥胖患者(46% 对 22% 正常体重)的合格率较高,P 值均为 0.001。结论 在当代瑞士的 ACS 患者队列中,多达 32% 的患者在 ACS 一年后符合补充欧米伽-3 FA-EPA 的条件,这为降低 ACS 和高甘油三酯血症患者的残余心血管风险提供了机会。

Background

Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) regulates bioavailability of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in various tissues by proteolytic cleavage of a subset of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). Pre-clinical studies have established a role of PAPP-A in atherosclerosis and proposed that targeting the proteolytic activity of PAPP-A has therapeutic value.

This study aimed to investigate whether human atherosclerotic plaques contain proteolytically active PAPP-A, a prerequisite for further considering PAPP-A as a therapeutic target in patients.

Methods

We obtained carotid (n = 9) and femoral (n = 11) atherosclerotic plaques from patients undergoing vascular surgery and incubated freshly harvested plaque tissue in culture media for 24 h. Subsequently, conditioned media were assayed for PAPP-A, STC2, IGFBP4, and IGF1 using immunoassays. Enzymatic activity of PAPP-A was assessed by its ability to process recombinant IGFBP4-IGF1 complexes - a specific substrate of PAPP-A - by Western blotting.

Results

PAPP-A and STC2 were detectable in conditioned media from both carotid and femoral plaques, with higher STC2 concentrations in eluates from carotid plaque incubations (p = 0.02). IGFBP4 and IGF1 were undetectable. Conditioned media from all 20 plaques exhibited PAPP-A proteolytic activity. However, no correlation between PAPP-A concentration and its proteolytic activity was observed, whereas the PAPP-A: STC2 molar ratio correlated with PAPP-A activity (R2 = 0.25, p = 0.03).

Conclusion

This study provides evidence for the presence of enzymatically active PAPP-A in atherosclerotic plaques and underscores the need for further investigating potential beneficial effects associated with targeting PAPP-A in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

背景妊娠相关血浆蛋白-A(PAPP-A)通过蛋白水解IGF结合蛋白(IGFBPs)子集,调节胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF1)在各种组织中的生物利用率。临床前研究已经确定了 PAPP-A 在动脉粥样硬化中的作用,并提出针对 PAPP-A 的蛋白水解活性具有治疗价值。本研究旨在调查人类动脉粥样硬化斑块是否含有蛋白水解活性 PAPP-A,这是进一步考虑将 PAPP-A 作为患者治疗靶点的前提条件。方法我们从接受血管手术的患者身上获取了颈动脉(n = 9)和股动脉(n = 11)动脉粥样硬化斑块,并将新鲜获取的斑块组织在培养基中培养 24 小时,然后用免疫测定法测定条件培养基中的 PAPP-A、STC2、IGFBP4 和 IGF1。结果在颈动脉斑块和股动脉斑块的条件培养基中都能检测到 PAPP-A 和 STC2,其中颈动脉斑块培养液中的 STC2 浓度更高(p = 0.02)。IGFBP4和IGF1检测不到。所有 20 个斑块的条件培养基都显示出 PAPP-A 蛋白溶解活性。结论这项研究为动脉粥样硬化斑块中存在具有酶活性的 PAPP-A 提供了证据,并强调有必要进一步研究针对动脉粥样硬化心血管疾病的 PAPP-A 的潜在有益作用。

Background and aims

We aimed to study the association of very low serum Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations with new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) in the context of statin usage in the UK Biobank, a large prospective population cohort.

Methods

Using an extended biomarker dataset, we identified 47,362 participants with very low Lp(a) concentrations (<3.8 nmol/L) from a total of 451,479 participants. With a median follow-up of 12.3 years, we assessed the risk of new-onset cardiometabolic diseases in participants stratified by statin usage with Cox proportional hazards models. We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization MR analyses to test causal relationship between genetically predicted Lp(a) and T2D and NAFLD.

Results

Taking the participants with Lp(a) within reportable range as the reference group, the hazard ratios (HR) for T2D were 1.07 (95 % confidence interval, CI 1.01–1.13) and for NAFLD 1.30 (95 % CI 1.20–1.41) respectively for participants with very low Lp(a) (<3.8 nmol/L). The risk for new-onset T2D was higher in participants using statins (adjusted HR 1.15; 95 % CI 1.05–1.27). The risk estimates for new-onset NAFLD were comparable in the analysis stratified by statin use. There was no evidence for causal links between genetically predicted Lp(a) and T2D nor NAFLD in two-sample MR analyses.

Conclusions

Very low Lp(a) was associated with higher risks of T2D and NAFLD in a prospective analysis of the UK Biobank. The association with T2D was influenced by lipid lowering medication usage. MR analyses did not support causality for these inverse associations.

背景和目的我们的目的是在英国生物库这一大型前瞻性人群队列中研究血清脂蛋白(a)[Lp(a)]浓度极低与他汀类药物使用情况下新发 2 型糖尿病(T2D)和非酒精性肝病(NAFLD)的关系。方法我们利用扩展的生物标志物数据集,从总共 451,479 名参与者中识别出了 47,362 名脂蛋白(a)浓度极低(3.8 nmol/L)的参与者。中位随访时间为 12.3 年,我们采用 Cox 比例危险模型评估了按他汀类药物使用情况分层的参与者中新发心脏代谢疾病的风险。结果以脂蛋白(a)在可报告范围内的参与者为参照组,脂蛋白(a)极低(<3.8 nmol/L)的参与者患 T2D 的危险比(HR)为 1.07(95 % 置信区间,CI 1.01-1.13),患非酒精性脂肪肝的危险比(HR)为 1.30(95 % 置信区间,CI 1.20-1.41)。使用他汀类药物的参与者新发 T2D 的风险更高(调整后 HR 1.15;95 % CI 1.05-1.27)。在按他汀类药物使用情况进行的分层分析中,新发非酒精性脂肪肝的风险估计值相当。结论在英国生物库的前瞻性分析中,超低脂蛋白(a)与较高的T2D和NAFLD风险相关。与 T2D 的关系受降脂药物使用情况的影响。磁共振分析不支持这些反向关联的因果关系。
