Undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors including elevated lipoprotein(a) in patients with ischaemic heart disease

Abstract: ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD).MethodsWe assessed the prevalence of previously undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors, including elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], among consenting patients with IHD who were admitted to hospital. Clinical information, including dietary history, from patients with newly diagnosed IHD and known IHD were compared.ResultsOf the 555 patients, 82.3% were males and 48.5% … Show more

“…Our study did not have sufficient numbers of measurements of other lipoproteins such as VLDL cholesterol, apoB, and Lp(a) concentrations. The prescription of omega-3 fish oil supplementation was not captured in our dataset because of the low prescription rates in our local setting and likely low adherence rates related to tolerability ( 42 ). The discussions in this study serve only to generate hypotheses, and further larger studies are needed to establish the effect of hypertriglyceridaemia and other lipoprotein remnants on non-HDL-C and LDL-C, as well as to establish the clinical significance of this in our multi-ethnic population.…”
