Parental history of early myocardial infarction is associated with decreased levels of lipoparticle AI in adolescents.

Abstract: A family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) is a known risk factor for CHD. To investigate the possible role of lipoprotein particles in the relationship between family history of CHD and risk of CHD, we performed a case-control study in a sample of adolescents. The case group consisted of 97 adolescents whose parents had suffered a verified myocardial infarction before the age of 55 years. The control group was composed of 194 subjects without any family history of CHD. One case patient was matched to tw… Show more

“…Previously, it was shown that transgenic mice producing human apo A-I have significantly less atherosclerosis than those producing both apo A-I and apo A-II when fed an atherogenic diet [18,24,25]. Clinical studies have indicated that the increased levels of LP A-I particles are associated negatively with the degree of arteriographically defined coronary disease [26,27]. Premenopausal women have higher levels of LP A-I, suggesting that this may have beneficial effect in reducing cardiovascular risk in these subjects [28].…”

“…[12][13][14] LP A-I is also associated negatively with extent of arteriographically defined coronary disease. 15,16 However, recent studies indicated decreased levels of both LP A-I and LP A-IϩA-II particles in patients with hypertriglyceridemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia, and a history of coronary heart disease. 17 In spite of several biological mechanisms proposed to support a beneficial role for estrogen, 18 the favorable alterations in HDL levels appear to be a well-established effect of estrogen in preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.…”
