Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and heart failure (HF) are major global health issues with high morbidity and mortality rates. Biomarkers like cardiac troponins (cTn) and natriuretic peptides (NPs) are crucial tools in cardiology, but numerous new biomarkers have emerged, proving increasingly valuable in CAD/ACS. These biomarkers are classified based on their mechanisms, such as fibrosis, metabolism, inflammation, and congestion. The integration of established and emerging biomarkers into clinical practice is an ongoing process, and recognizing their strengths and limitations is crucial for their accurate interpretation, incorporation into clinical settings, and improved management of CVD patients. We explored established biomarkers like cTn, NPs, and CRP, alongside newer biomarkers such as Apo-A1, IL-17E, IgA, Gal-3, sST2, GDF-15, MPO, H-FABP, Lp-PLA2, and ncRNAs; provided evidence of their utility in CAD/ACS diagnosis and prognosis; and empowered clinicians to confidently integrate these biomarkers into clinical practice based on solid evidence.

Relationship of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) and periprocedural myocardial injury in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention. IJC HEART & VASCULATURE 2020; 28:100541. [PMID: 32490148 PMCID: PMC7256635 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcha.2020.100541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2020] [Revised: 05/12/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the dominant methods for revascularization in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). However, periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is a frequent complication following PCI and is known to be a predictor of postprocedural cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although several studies try to identify serum markers to predict the PMI, there is a little information about the role of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) as a predictor of PMI. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship of Lp-PLA2 levels and PMI in patients undergoing elective PCI. METHODS This study included 265 consecutive patients with normal preprocedural cardiac troponin T(cTNT) who received elective PCI. The samples for cTNT were collected at 8, 16, and 24 h after PCI to assess perioperative myocardial injury. The Lp-PLA2 and other serum lipid parameters were measured after 12 fasting hours before PCI. RESULTS The data suggested that the patients with preprocedural high Lp-PLA2 were strongly and independently correlated with the risk of PMI. Pearson correlation analysis showed that preprocedural Lp-PLA2 was significantly positively correlated with postprocedural cTnT elevation (r = 0.694, p < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of PMI, we found that Lp-PLA2 was independent risk factor for postprocedural cTnT elevation. The area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve of Lp-PLA2 was 0.757 (95%CI 0.692 ~ 0.821, p < 0.001), the best cut-off point was 185 ng/ml, sensitivity and specificity were 65.33% and 76.32%. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that preprocedural Lp-PLA2 was associated with postprocedural cTnT elevation and was the independent risk factor of PMI.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
The relationships between lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) level, vasospasm, and clinical outcome of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are still unclear.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the associations between admission Lp-PLA2 and vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage and the clinical outcome of aSAH.
METHODS
A total of 103 aSAH patients who had Lp-PLA2 level obtained within 24 h postbleeding were included. The relationships between Lp-PLA2 level, vasospasm, and clinical outcome were analyzed.
RESULTS
Vasospasm was observed in 52 patients (50.49%). Patients with vasospasm had significantly higher Lp-PLA2 level than those without (P < .001). Both modified Fisher grade (P = .014) and Lp-PLA2 level (P < .001) were significant predictors associated with vasospasm. The Z test revealed that power of Lp-PLA2 was significantly higher than that of modified Fisher grade in predicting vasospasm (Z = 2.499, P = .012). At 6-mo follow-up, 44 patients (42.72%) had unfavorable outcome and 36 patients (34.95%) died. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade and Lp-PLA2 level were both significant predictors associated with 6-mo unfavorable outcome and mortality (all P < .001). The predictive values of Lp-PLA2 for unfavorable outcome and mortality at 6-mo tended to be lower than those of the WFNS grade, but the differences were not statistically significant (P = .366 and 0.115, respectively). Poor-grade patients having Lp-PLA2 > 200 μg/L had significantly worse 6-mo survival rate than poor-grade patients having Lp-PLA2 ≤ 200 μg/L (P = .001).
CONCLUSION
The Lp-PLA2 might be useful as a novel predictor in aSAH patients. A total of 30 poor-grade patients; those with elevated Lp-PLA2 level have higher risk of 6-mo mortality compared to those without.

Abstract
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) probably plays an important role in the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, alterations of Lp-PLA2 levels during ACS and its association with cardiovascular outcome are unclear. Our aim was to investigate the change in Lp-PLA2 and its association with cardiovascular outcome in patients with ACS.A total of 79 patients with ACS came from the coronary care unit (CCU) between June 1, 2015 and August 31, 2016 in this longitudinal study. Serum levels of Lp-PLA2, troponin I, and creatine kinase isoenzymes MB (CK-MB) were measured at admission, on the first morning (D1), on the second morning of hospitalization (D2), and on the last second morning before discharge (D4). The patients were followed up till November 30, 2016. The primary outcomes were cardiovascular death and cardiovascular rehospitalization. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify risk factors for poor outcome in patients with ACS.All patients were followed up for 10.6 ± 4.7 months. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median of Lp-PLA2: lower Lp-PLA2 group and higher Lp-PLA2 group. Elevated levels of Lp-PLA2 significantly decreased during the early phases of ACS in higher Lp-PLA2 group. And Lp-PLA2 level increased at first and then decreased in lower Lp-PLA2 group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with elevated Lp-PLA2 had a lower cardiovascular event-free survival (log-rank χ = 4.736, P = .030) than those with lower Lp-PLA2. Cox regression analysis indicated that high Lp-PLA2 level (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.005, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.002-1.008, P = .003), time delay from symptom onset to admission (HR = 1.088, 95% CI = 1.038-1.139, P < .001) independently predicted cardiovascular event in patients with ACS after adjusting for potential confounders.Serum level of Lp-PLA2 altered considerably during the early phase of ACS and increased Lp-PLA2 independently predicted cardiovascular outcome in patients with ACS after adjustment for potential confounders.

Abstract
Statins lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and the addition of ezetimibe to statins further reduces LDL-C and hsCRP. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is a potentially important pathogenic factor participating in the progression of atherosclerosis. The aim of current study was to investigate how the addition of ezetimibe to rosuvastatin treatment affects reductions in LDL-C, hsCRP and Lp-PLA2 in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 135 patients were enrolled in the study within 24 h of AMI, and were randomized to receive 10 mg rosuvastatin or 10 mg rosuvastatin plus 10 mg ezetimibe daily. HsCRP, Lp-PLA2, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were determined at baseline and after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of treatment. The addition of ezetimibe to rosuvastatin led to greater reduction of LDL-C compared with rosuvastatin monotherapy (from 3.00 to 1.19 mmol/l vs. 2.93 to 1.49 mmol/l, respectively; P<0.05), as well as reduced levels of hsCRP (from 5.15 to 0.68 mg/l vs. 4.33 to 1.49 mg/l, respectively; P<0.05) and Lp-PLA2 (from 333.13 to 79.07 mg/l vs. 327.95 to 123.62 mg/l, respectively; P<0.05). A positive association was identified between reductions of Lp-PLA2 and the changes of LDL-C (r=0.367; P=0.002). However, no significant correlation was observed between changes in Lp-PLA2 and hsCRP (r=0.264; P=0.512). The values of hsCRP and Lp-PLA2 appeared to increase during the first week after randomization, but dropped steeply to a lower level and remained stable thereafter. In conclusion, the addition of ezetimibe to rosuvastatin was demonstrated to further reduce LDL-C, hsCRP and Lp-PLA2 compared with rosuvastatin monotherapy in patients with AMI.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association between plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2; known to release inflammatory mediators that promote atherosclerosis) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in Chinese patients. Methods This observational, cross-sectional study included a patient cohort who were assessed by coronary angiography and divided into patients with coronary heart disease and patients with normal coronary angiography (controls). Data for several biochemical indicators were collected. Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyse the association between Lp-PLA2 concentration and CHD. Results A total of 531 patients were included, comprising 391 with CHD and 140 with normal coronary angiography (controls). Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentration was significantly higher in patients with CHD versus controls (median, 251 µg/l versus 219 µg/l, respectively), and particularly among patients with acute myocardial infarction and stable angina pectoris (249 µg/l and 266 µg/l, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 ≥ 292 µg/l (upper quartile of the whole cohort) was independently associated with CHD (odds ratio 2.814, 95% confidence interval 1.519, 5.214). Conclusion Plasma Lp-PLA2 concentration was independently associated with CHD in Chinese patients.

Abstract
Studies indicate that elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Lp-PLA2 seems to play a crucial role in the formation of plaques and acute inflammation, and plasma Lp-PLA2 could therefore potentially be used as a predictor of long-term outcome in ACS patients. To evaluate this, data concerning Lp-PLA2 as a predictor in ACS patients was gathered through a systematic literature review, and studies on this issue were extracted from relevant databases, incl. PubMed and Cochrane. A total of 14 articles were retrieved, but after thorough evaluation and elimination of irrelevant articles only seven studies were eligible for the literature review. All studies except two showed significant correlation between Lp-PLA2 and CV events in ACS patients. Only one study found an independent value to predict CV events 30 days after ACS. Altogether, there was inconsistency in the findings regarding the potential use of Lp-PLA2 and a lack of knowledge on several issues. Lp-PLA2 seems to give valuable information on which ACS patients are prone to new events and also provides important information on plaque size. However, more focused studies concerning genetic variations, time-window impact, patients with and without CV risk factors (e.g. diabetes), and treatment effects are needed. In conclusion, Lp-PLA2 offers new insight in the pathophysiological development of ACS, but until the aforementioned issues are addressed the biomarker will mainly be of interest in a research setting, not as a predictive parameter in a clinical setting.
