Non-HDL cholesterol is better than LDL-c at predicting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors clustering, even in subjects with near-to-normal triglycerides: A report from a Venezuelan population
(F1000 Research Ltd., 2018-09-20)
Background: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c) has
emerged as an important tool in primary prevention of atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), especially among those at high risk. The
main objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of non-HDL-c
for the coexistence aggregation of multiple ASCVD risk factors and compare
this with LDL-c in general subjects with normal or near normal triglycerides from
Maracaibo city in Venezuela.
Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a ...
Importance of high triglycerides levels between novel coronary risk factors
(Sociedad Colombiana de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular., 2017-11)
Introduction: The analysis of new cardiovascular risk factors is under an extensive debate in
the cardiology and metabolic research fields.
Objective: To determine the main factors that contribute to the classification of individuals
with higher coronary risk in the adult population from Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with multistage random sampling in 1379 individuals
belonging to the Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study (MMSPS) was
performed. They were classified according to the coronary ...
