BACKGROUND: Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) is associated with aortic stenosis (AS). Oxidized phospholipids (OxPL) are key mediators of calcification in valvular cells and are carried by Lp(a). OBJECTIVES: This study sought to determine whether Lp(a) and OxPL are associated with hemodynamic progression of AS and AS-related events. METHODS: OxPL on apolipoprotein B-100 (OxPL-apoB), which reflects the biological activity of Lp(a), and Lp(a) levels were measured in 220 patients with mild-to-moderate AS. The primary endpoint was the progression rate of AS, measured by the annualized increase in peak aortic jet velocity in m/s/year by Doppler echocardiography; the secondary endpoint was need for aortic valve replacement and cardiac death during 3.5 ± 1.2 years of follow-up. RESULTS: AS progression was faster in patients in the top tertiles of Lp(a) (peak aortic jet velocity: +0.26 ± 0.26 vs. +0.17 ± 0.21 m/s/year; p = 0.005) and OxPL-apoB (+0.26 ± 0.26 m/s/year vs. +0.17 ± 0.21 m/s/year; p = 0.01). After multivariable adjustment, elevated Lp(a) or OxPL-apoB levels remained independent predictors of faster AS progression. After adjustment for age, sex, and baseline AS severity, patients in the top tertile of Lp(a) or OxPL-apoB had increased risk of aortic valve replacement and cardiac death. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated Lp(a) and OxPL-apoB levels are associated with faster AS progression and need for aortic valve replacement. These findings support the hypothesis that Lp(a) mediates AS progression through its associated OxPL and provide a rationale for randomized trials of Lp(a)-lowering and OxPL-apoB-lowering therapies in AS.

背景:脂蛋白(a)(Lp[a])升高与主动脉瓣狭窄(AS)有关。氧化磷脂(OxPL)是瓣膜细胞钙化的关键介质,由 Lp(a)携带。
目的:本研究旨在确定 Lp(a)和 OxPL 是否与 AS 的血液动力学进展和 AS 相关事件有关。
方法:在 220 例轻中度 AS 患者中测量载脂蛋白 B-100 上的 OxPL(OxPL-apoB),其反映了 Lp(a)的生物学活性,以及 Lp(a)水平。主要终点是通过多普勒超声心动图测量的每年主动脉射流速度峰值的增加率(m/s/年),来评估 AS 的进展率;次要终点是 3.5±1.2 年随访期间需要进行主动脉瓣置换和心脏死亡。
结果:Lp(a)水平最高三分位患者的 AS 进展速度更快(主动脉射流速度峰值:+0.26±0.26 比 +0.17±0.21 m/s/年;p=0.005)和 OxPL-apoB(+0.26±0.26 m/s/年比 +0.17±0.21 m/s/年;p=0.01)。多变量调整后,升高的 Lp(a)或 OxPL-apoB 水平仍然是 AS 进展更快的独立预测因素。在调整年龄、性别和基线 AS 严重程度后,Lp(a)或 OxPL-apoB 水平最高三分位的患者主动脉瓣置换和心脏死亡的风险增加。
结论:升高的 Lp(a)和 OxPL-apoB 水平与 AS 进展更快和需要主动脉瓣置换相关。这些发现支持 Lp(a)通过其相关 OxPL 介导 AS 进展的假说,并为 AS 中 Lp(a)降低和 OxPL-apoB 降低治疗的随机试验提供了依据。(Aortic Stenosis Progression Observation: Measuring Effects of Rosuvastatin [ASTRONOMER];NCT00800800)。
