Lipoprotein(a) and calcific aortic valve disease initiation and progression: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Res 2023; 119:1641-1655. [PMID: 37078819 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvad062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Although evidence indicates the association of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with atherosclerosis, the link with calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the connection between Lp(a) and aortic valve calcification and stenosis (AVS). We included all relevant studies, indexed in eight databases, up to February 2023. A total of 44 studies (163 139 subjects) were included, with 16 of them being further meta-analysed. Despite considerable heterogeneity, most studies support the relationship between Lp(a) and CAVD, especially in younger populations, with evidence of early aortic valve micro-calcification in elevated-Lp(a) populations. The quantitative synthesis showed higher Lp(a) levels, by 22.63 nmol/L (95% CI: 9.98-35.27), for patients with AVS, while meta-regressing the data revealed smaller Lp(a) differences for older populations with a higher proportion of females. The meta-analysis of eight studies providing genetic data, revealed that the minor alleles of both rs10455872 and rs3798220 LPA gene loci were associated with higher risk for AVS (pooled odds ratio 1.42; 95% CI: 1.34-1.50 and 1.27; 95% CI: 1.09-1.48, respectively). Importantly, high-Lp(a) individuals displayed not only faster AVS progression, by a mean difference of 0.09 m/s/year (95% CI: 0.09-0.09), but also a higher risk of serious adverse outcomes, including death (pooled hazard ratio 1.39; 95% CI: 1.01-1.90). These summary findings highlight the effect of Lp(a) on CAVD initiation, progression and outcomes, and support the early onset of Lp(a)-related subclinical lesions before clinical evidence.

Association of aortic valve calcification and high levels of lipoprotein (a): Systematic review and Meta-analysis. Curr Probl Cardiol 2023; 48:101746. [PMID: 37100357 DOI: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2023.101746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to assess the association between aortic valve calcification and lipoprotein (a). METHODS We searched PUBMED, WOS, and SCOPUS databases. Inclusion criteria were any controlled clinical trials or observational studies that reported the level of Lipoprotein A in patients with aortic valve calcifications, excluding case reports, editorials and animal studies. RevMan software (5.4) was used to perform the meta-analysis. RESULTS After complete screening, 7 studies were included with a total number of 446179 patients included in the analysis. The pooled analysis showed a statistically significant association between the incidence of aortic valve calcium and increased levels of lipoprotein (a) compared with controls (SMD = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.04 to 2.38, p-value < 0.00001). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis showed a statistically significant association between the incidence of aortic valve calcium and increased levels of lipoprotein (a) compared with controls. Patients with high levels of lipoprotein (a) are at increased risk of developing aortic valve calcification. Medications targeting lipoprotein (a) in future clinical trials may be useful in primary prevention of aortic valve calcification in high risk patients.

Lipoprotein (a) is related to In-Stent neoatherosclerosis incidence rate and plaque vulnerability: Optical Coherence Tomography Study. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging 2023; 39:275-284. [PMID: 36315364 PMCID: PMC9870965 DOI: 10.1007/s10554-022-02736-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) is an important reason for stent failure. High lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] level is an independent predictor of in-stent restenosis (ISR). To date, the relationship between the level of serum Lp (a) and the incidence rate and vulnerability of ISNA has never been verified. METHODS A total of 119 patients with 125 drug-eluting stent ISR lesions who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention guided by optical coherence tomography were enrolled in this study. According to their Lp (a) level, the patients were divided into two groups [high Lp (a) group ≥ 30 mg/dL, n = 47; or low Lp (a) group < 30 mg/dL, n = 72]. The clinical baseline, angiographic characteristics, and optical coherence tomography data of both groups were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS No significant differences in clinical and angiographic characteristics were found between the two groups (P > 0.05). The incidence rate of ISNA in the high Lp (a) group was significantly higher than that in the low Lp (a) group (94.0% [n = 47] vs. 52.0% [n = 39], P < 0.001). The incidence rate of thin-cap fibroatheroma in ISR lesions was significantly higher in the high Lp (a) group than in the low Lp (a) group (42% [n = 21] vs. 5.3% [n = 4], P < 0.001). CONCLUSION A high Lp (a) level is associated with the high incidence rate and plaque vulnerability of ISNA.

Analysis of 61 SNPs from the CAD specific genomic loci reveals unique set of SNPs as significant markers in the Southern Indian population of Hyderabad. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:148. [PMID: 35379196 PMCID: PMC8981708 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02562-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The present study is a part of the major project on coronary artery disease (CAD) carried out at Indian Statistical Institute, Hyderabad to investigate the pattern of association of SNPs selected from the CAD specific genomic loci. The study is expected to portray the genetic susceptibility profile of CAD specifically in the Southern Indian population of Hyderabad. Methods The study was conducted in a cohort of 830 subjects comprising 350 CAD cases and 480 controls from Hyderabad. A prioritized set of 61 SNPs selected from the NHGRI GWAS catalogue were genotyped using FluidigmNanofluidic SNP Genotyping System and appropriate statistical analyses were used in interpreting the results. Results After data pruning, out of 45 SNPs qualified for the association analysis, four SNPs were found to be highly significantly associated with increased risk for CAD even after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (p < 0.001). These results were also replicated in the random subsets of the pooled cohort (70, 50 and 30%) suggesting internal consistency. The ROC analysis of the risk scores of the significant SNPs suggested highly significant area under curve (AUC = 0.749; p < 0.0001) implying predictive utility of these risk variants. Conclusions The rs10455872 of LP(A) gene in particular showed profound risk for CAD (OR 35.9; CI 16.7–77.2) in this regional Indian population. The other significant SNP associations observed with respect to the pooled CAD cohort and in different anatomical and phenotypic severity categories reflected on the role of genetic heterogeneity in the clinical heterogeneity of CAD. The SNP rs7582720 of WDR12 gene, albeit not individually associated with CAD, was found to be conferring significant risk through epistatic interaction with two SNPs (rs6589566, rs1263163 in ZPR1, APOA5-APOA4 genes) of the 11q23.3 region.

Association of the IRF5 Polymorphisms with Cardiometabolic Parameters. The Genetics of Atherosclerotic Disease (GEA) Mexican Study. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11030443. [PMID: 33802675 PMCID: PMC8002496 DOI: 10.3390/biom11030443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) has an important role in the inflammatory process, a fundamental component of coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the association of IRF5 polymorphisms with the development of premature CAD (pCAD) and cardiometabolic parameters. IRF5 polymorphisms (rs1874330, rs3778754, rs3757386, rs3757385, rs3807134, rs3807135, and rs6968563) were determined in 1116 pCAD patients and 1003 controls. Polymorphism distribution was similar in patients and controls; however, the haplotype analysis showed five haplotypes with a different distribution. TGCGTCT (OR (odds ratio) = 1.248, p = 0005) and TCTGCCT (OR = 10.73, p < 0.0001) were associated with a high risk, whereas TCCGTCT (OR = 0.155, p < 0.0001), CGCTTTT (OR = 0.108, p < 0.0001), and TCCGCCT (OR = 0.014, p < 0.0001) were associated with a low risk of pCAD. Associations with aspartate aminotransferase, hypertriglyceridemia, magnesium deficiency, triglycerides/HDL-C index, LDL-C, and adiponectin levels were observed in pCAD patients. In controls, associations with hypoalphalipoproteinemia, non-HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, hyperuricemia, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-15, valvular calcification, and subclinical hypothyroidism were observed. In summary, five haplotypes were associated with pCAD, two with high risk and three with low risk. Some IRF5 polymorphisms were associated with cardiometabolic parameters in pCAD patients and control.
