[PMID: 38365496 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to compare the prevalence of modifiable and non-modifiable coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors among those with premature CHD and healthy individuals. METHODS PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched (review protocol is registered in PROSPERO CRD42020173216). The quality of studies was assessed using the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute tool for cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3. Effect sizes for categorical and continuous variables, odds ratio (OR) and mean differences (MD)/standardised mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS A total of n=208 primary studies were included in this review. Individuals presenting with premature CHD (PCHD, age ≤65 years) had higher mean body mass index (MD 0.54 kg/m2, 95% CI 0.24, 0.83), total cholesterol (SMD 0.27, 95% CI 0.17, 0.38), triglycerides (SMD 0.50, 95% CI 0.41, 0.60) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (SMD 0.79, 95% CI: -0.91, -0.68) compared with healthy individuals. Individuals presenting with PCHD were more likely to be smokers (OR 2.88, 95% CI 2.51, 3.31), consumed excessive alcohol (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.05, 1.86), had higher mean lipoprotein (a) levels (SMD 0.41, 95% CI 0.28, 0.54), and had a positive family history of CHD (OR 3.65, 95% CI 2.87, 4.66) compared with healthy individuals. Also, they were more likely to be obese (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.32, 1.91), and to have had dyslipidaemia (OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.18, 3.45), hypertension (OR 2.80, 95% CI 2.28, 3.45), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.50, 3.45) compared with healthy individuals. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms current knowledge of risk factors for PCHD, and identifying these early may reduce CHD in young adults.

Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12121192. [PMID: 36557230 PMCID: PMC9781553 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12121192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms of ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) and solute carrier family 2 member 9 (SLC2A9) affect individual blood uric acid levels using pyrosequencing. ABCG2 (rs2231142, rs72552713, rs2231137), SLC2A9 (rs3734553, rs3733591, rs16890979), and individual uric acid levels were prospectively analyzed in 250 healthy young Korean male participants. Prominent differences in uric acid levels of the alleles were observed in the SLC2A9 rs3733591 polymorphism: wild-type (AA) vs. heterozygote (AG), 0.7 mg/dL (p < 0.0001); AA vs. mutant type (GG), 1.32 mg/dL (p < 0.0001); and AG vs. GG, 0.62 mg/dL (p < 0.01). In ABCG2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the statistically significant differences in uric acid levels were only found in rs2231142 between CC vs. AA (1.06 mg/dL; p < 0.001), and CC vs. CA (0.59 mg/dL; p < 0.01). Serum uric acid levels based on the ABCG2 and SLC2A9 diplotype groups were also compared. The uric acid levels were the lowest in the CC/AA diplotype and highest in the AA/AG diplotype. In addition, the SNP SLC2A9 rs3733591 tended to increase the uric acid levels when the ABCG2 rs2231142 haplotypes were fixed. In conclusion, both the ABCG2 rs2231142 and SLC2A9 rs3733591 polymorphisms may additively elevate blood uric acid levels.

A Retrospective Study of the Relationship Between the Triglyceride Glucose Index and Myocardial Revascularization for New-Onset Acute Coronary Syndromes. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:862252. [PMID: 35402521 PMCID: PMC8987771 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.862252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study explored the relationship between the TyG index/serum uric acid (SUA) panel and myocardial revascularization (MRT) for new-onset acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Between January 2011 and July 2020, 13,271 new-onset ACS patients were enrolled. The logistic regression models and the odds ratios (ORs) were used to quantify the risk of TyG index/SUA and MRT. Then, interaction analyses of TyG index and SUA on MRT were applied. Results Elevated TyG index was positively associated higher risks of MRT. However, SUA levels were negatively associated with MRT. Compared with those in the lowest quartile, the risk of MRT increased gradually among patients in Q1 of the SUA category (OR = 1.03, 1.11, and 1.28 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q2 of the SUA category (OR = 1.41, 1.68, and 2.18 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), Q3 of the SUA category (OR = 1.05, 1.45, and 1.45 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively), and Q4 of the SUA category (OR = 1.20, 1.29, and 1.46 for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of TyG index, respectively). This pattern was observed in both male and female, as well as patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Conclusion Patients with a higher TyG index have a higher proportion of MRT in new-onset ACS. This result also applies to patients with different levels of SUA during new-onset ACS.

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is the final product of the catabolism of endogenous and exogenous purine nucleotides. While its association with articular gout and kidney disease has been known for a long time, new data have demonstrated that UA is also related to cardiovascular (CV) diseases. UA has been identified as a significant determinant of many different outcomes, such as all-cause and CV mortality, and also of CV events (mainly Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) and even strokes). Furthermore, UA has been related to the development of Heart Failure, and to a higher mortality in decompensated patients, as well as to the onset of atrial fibrillation. After a brief introduction on the general role of UA in CV disorders, this review will be focused on UA's relationship with CV outcomes, as well as on the specific features of patients with ACS and Chronic Coronary Syndrome. Finally, two issues which remain open will be discussed: the first is about the identification of a CV UA cut-off value, while the second concerns the possibility that the pharmacological reduction of UA is able to lower the incidence of CV events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Uric Acid (UA) has been related to the development of Cardio-Vascular (CV) events in patients affected by Chronic Coronary Syndromes (CCS). Among various hypothesis, two arise: UA may negatively act on coronary artery determining a higher degree of atherosclerotic disease, and/or on heart determining a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction. Both the above hypothesized effects are object of our investigation. METHODS AND RESULTS 231 patients who were admitted to the cardiological department of the Niguarda Hospital (Milan, Italy) for CCS from January 2017 to June 2018 were enrolled. Coronary atherosclerotic burden was evaluated from coronary angiography as the number and type of involved vessels, as well as with both Gensini and Syntax scores. All subjects underwent a complete echocardiogram. At unadjusted and adjusted/multivariable analysis, UA levels were not significantly associated with variables analysed from the coronary angiography (number and type of vessels involved, neither the Gensini and Syntax scores) as well as with echocardiographic parameters regarding systolic and diastolic function. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, the main finding of our work is the absence of a role for UA in determining coronary arteries disease as well as LV diastolic dysfunction in CCS subjects. Taking together the results of previous studies with ours, we hypothesize that UA could act on heart (both on coronary arteries and on LV function) in an early phase of the disease, whereas while in the advanced stages other factors (previous myocardial infarction, previous myocardial revascularization and so on) may overshadow its effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Because myocardial infarction in young adults is rare, there has been limited research on the condition in this patient group. Very few data are available regarding the long-term outcomes of patients under 40 years of age with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing invasive treatments. The prognostic value of uric acid (UA) in young patients with NSTEMI who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has also not been studied. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of this specific subset of young patients. In addition, we aimed to identify the role of serum UA in predicting the long-term prognosis of young patients with NSTEMI who have undergone PCI. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 213 young adult patients (≤40 years old) with NSTEMI who underwent PCI during their hospitalization at our tertiary referral center. RESULTS The mean age of the 213 patients was 36.8 ± 3.3 years (range, 21-40 years). The median follow-up was 930 days. Our patients were predominantly male (88.3%) and the most frequent traditional cardiovascular risk factors were smoking and dyslipidemia. Baseline TIMI flow 0-1, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and UA were found to be independently correlated with long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in multivariate Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION In the present study, baseline TIMI flow 0-1, admission eGFR, and UA levels were correlated with MACEs during long-term follow-up in young patients with NSTEMI.

Abstract
Serum uric acid (UA) is the final product of purine metabolism in humans. The present study is aimed at identifying the potential association between serum UA and early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD). The study population consisted of 1093 EOCAD patients aged ≤50 years, and 1117 age- and sex-matched apparently healthy people served as controls. The concentrations of UA were measured by uricase method. The severity of CAD was evaluated by Gensini score. The mean serum level of UA was 5.843 ± 1.479 mg/dl in EOCAD patients and 5.433 ± 1.529 mg/dl in controls. Serum UA levels were significantly higher in the EOCAD group than those in the control group (P < 0.001) and was an independent risk factor for EOCAD (OR = 1.100, 95% CI: 1.022–1.185). The early-onset myocardial infarction patients with 3-vessel disease had higher serum UA levels than those with 1- or 2-vessel disease. The serum UA levels of EOCAD patients with acute coronary syndrome were significantly higher than those with chronic coronary artery disease. EOCAD patients with hyperuricemia had higher Gensini scores than those without hyperuricemia. In addition, the serum UA levels were affected by drinking (P < 0.01) and were positively correlated with serum creatinine (r = 0.323) and weight (r = 0.327). Our results show that serum UA was an independent risk factor for EOCAD. The serum UA levels were associated with the presence and severity of EOCAD and suggested that UA may be involved in the progression of EOCAD.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibit an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events. Hyperglycemia itself contributes to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and heart failure (HF) in these patients, but glucose-lowering strategies studied to date have had little or no impact on reducing CV risk, especially in patients with a long duration of T2DM and prevalent CV disease (CVD). Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are the new class of glucose-lowering medications that increase urinary glucose excretion, thus improving glycemic control, independent of insulin. The recently published CV outcome trial, Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients-Removing Excess Glucose (EMPA-REG OUTCOME), demonstrated that the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin significantly reduced the combined CV end point of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke vs. placebo in a population of patients with T2DM and prevalent atherosclerotic CVD. In addition, and quite unexpectedly, empagliflozin significantly and robustly reduced the individual end points of CV death, overall mortality, and hospitalization for HF in this high-risk population. Several beneficial factors beyond glucose control, such as weight loss, lowering blood pressure, sodium depletion, renal hemodynamic effects, effects on myocardial energetics, and/or neurohormonal effects, have been seen with SGLT2 inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been introduced as a predictive factor for cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated the association of serum GGT and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in candidates for coronary angiography. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled male subjects aged ≤45 years and female subjects ≤55 years who were candidates for elective coronary angiography due to typical chest pain or a positive non-invasive test. Baseline characteristics were recorded for all the participants and serum levels of blood glucose, lipid profile and GGT were measured. Patients were divided into CAD and non-CAD groups based on angiography for further comparisons. RESULTS From a total of 367 patients (age 45.1 ± 6.1 years, 161 males [43.9%]), 176 (47.9%) patients had premature CAD. A high level of GGT was significantly associated with the presence of CAD (p < 0.001). A 10-unit increase in GGT could strongly predict the presence of premature coronary artery disease (OR: 13.34, 95% CI: 7.19-24.78; p < 0.001) after adjustment for confounders. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for GGT was 80.9% (range 76.5-85.3) and the sensitivity and specificity of GGT at a cut-point of 22.5 IU/l was 80.1% and 70.2%, respectively. Diagnostic accuracy of GGT was 74.9%. The positive predictive value and negative predictive value for GGT was 71.3 and 79.3, respectively. CONCLUSION We observed that GGT levels in patients with typical chest pain or positive non-invasive tests could predict the presence of premature CAD in young patients.

Abstract
Given the multi-faceted pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is likely that interventions to mitigate this risk must address cardiovascular (CV) risk factors beyond glucose itself. Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are newer antihyperglycaemic agents with apparent multiple effects. Inherent in their mode of action to decrease glucose reabsorption by the kidneys by increasing urinary glucose excretion, these agents improve glycaemic control independent of insulin secretion with a low risk of hypoglycaemia. In this review, we outline those CV risk factors that this class appears to influence and provide the design features and trial characteristics of six ongoing outcome trials involving more than 41,000 individuals with T2DM. Those risk factors beyond glucose that can potentially be modulated positively with SGLT-2 inhibitors include blood pressure, weight, visceral adiposity, hyperinsulinaemia, arterial stiffness, albuminuria, circulating uric acid levels and oxidative stress. On the other hand, small increases in low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels have also been observed for the class, which theoretically might offset some of these benefits. The potential translational impact of these effects is being tested with outcome trials, also reviewed in this article, powered to assess both macrovascular as well as certain microvascular outcomes in T2DM. These are expected to begin to report in late 2015.

Zhang Y, Xu RX, Li S, Zhu CG, Guo YL, Sun J, Li JJ. Lipoprotein subfractions partly mediate the association between serum uric acid and coronary artery disease. Clin Chim Acta 2014; 441:109-14. [PMID: 25549901 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2014.12.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2014] [Revised: 12/19/2014] [Accepted: 12/22/2014] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum uric acid (SUA) has been established to be highly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) susceptibility and lipid metabolism, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Recently, lipoprotein subfractions have been proposed to be more valuable in CAD risk evaluation. Hence, we sought to investigate whether the relationship between SUA and CAD is partly mediated by lipoprotein subfractions. METHODS A total of 401 consecutive subjects undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled. The baseline clinical data including the SUA level and lipid profiles were collected. The lipoprotein subfractions were determined using the Lipoprint system. RESULTS In the overall population, the upper SUA quintiles had significantly higher atherogenic lipid parameters and unbalanced lipoprotein subfractions especially higher small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) and lower large high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (p<0.05). The levels of SUA and lipoprotein subfractions were dramatically different between male and female. After adjusting for traditional risk factors including gender, multivariate linear regression analysis suggested that SUA was positively associated with sdLDL-C (β=0.113, p=0.013) but negatively related to large HDL-C level (β=-0.152, p=0.002). Given the significant association of the SUA level with lipoprotein subfractions and incident CAD (adjusted OR=1.312, 95% CI 1.069-1.609, p=0.009), we performed the mediation analyses and found that 8.7-10.5% of the effect of SUA on CAD susceptibility was mediated by the increased sdLDL-C or decreased large HDL-C level (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The SUA level was proved to be associated with lipoprotein subfractions including sdLDL-C (positive) and large HDL-C (negative), which partly mediated the association between SUA and CAD susceptibility.
