Apolipoproteins and Their Correlation with Some Early Markers of Vascular Disease in Subjects at Different Risk Categories
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to study the correlation between plasma apolipoproteins (Apo A-1, ApoB & the ratio of ApoB to ApoA-1) and carotid intima-media thickness in subjects at different degrees of risk for cardiovascular disease. Material & Methods: The study included 80 subjects selected from the employee of kasr Al aini Shool of medicine. All subjects were subjected to clinical assessment & laboratory investigations including lipid profile, apolipoproteins B & A1, CRP & microalbuminurea. Finally CIMT was performed to all our subjects. Results: Our results showed statistically significant negative correlation between apo- A1 versus Framingham, SCORE system & Number of risks, and significant positive correlation with HDL. There was also statistically significant positive correlation between apo-B versus Framingham , SCORE system, Number of risks, cholesterol and LDL & statistically significant positive correlation between Apo-B / Apo A- 1 versus Framingham , SCORE system, number of risks ,total cholesterol, LDL and negative correlation to HDL. Our subjects who were positive with metabolic syndrome had higher CIMT, higher apo B, higher apoB/ apo A-1 ratio, lower apo-A compared to subjects without metabolic syndrome. There was also statistically significant positive correlation between carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) versus age, SBP, apo B, apo B/A-1, microalbuminuria and negatively correlated to apo A-1. Conclusion: We conclude from the results in our study that the estimation of the apo B to apo A-1 ratio and the use of the number of risk factors as a score system for the estimation of cardiovascular risk show a strong association with CIMT which can be of significant importance in delineating vascular risk.
