Lipoprotein(a)-Lp(a), which retains proatherogenic and prothrombotic properties, may be modified by hormonal and metabolic factors. However, few studies have focused on differences related to sex and cardiometabolic risk factors in the relationship between Lp(a) and cardiovascular disease, especially in terms of prognosis. This study aimed at evaluating the predictive value of Lp(a) (cut-off 30 mg/dL) for hard events (HEs: mortality and non-fatal myocardial infarction) according to sex and cardiometabolic risk factors in 2110 patients (1501 males, mean age: 68 ± 9 years) undergoing coronary angiography for known or suspected coronary artery disease. There were 211 events over a median follow-up period of 33 months. Lp(a) > 30 mg/dL did not confer a worse prognosis on the overall population. However, Kaplan-Meier subgroup analysis evidenced a worse prognosis in type 2 diabetes (T2D) females with elevated Lp(a) (log-rank test: = 0.03) vs. T2D males and no-T2D patients, but not in other high-risk cardiovascular states (e.g., smoking, hypertension, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction or obesity). After Cox multivariate adjustment, Lp(a) remained an independent determinant for HEs in the T2D female subgroup, conferring an HR of 2.9 (95% CI 1.1-7.7, < 0.05). Lp(a) is therefore a strong independent predictor of HR in T2D women, but not in T2D men, or in noT2D patients.
脂蛋白(a)-Lp(a)具有促动脉粥样硬化和促血栓形成特性,可能会受到激素和代谢因素的影响。然而,很少有研究关注Lp(a)与心血管疾病关系中与性别和心血管代谢危险因素相关的差异,尤其是在预后方面。本研究旨在评估Lp(a)(临界值30 mg/dL)对2110例(1501例男性,平均年龄:68±9岁)因已知或疑似冠状动脉疾病接受冠状动脉造影的患者发生硬性事件(HEs:死亡和非致命性心肌梗死)的预测价值。在中位随访期33个月内共发生211起事件。Lp(a)>30 mg/dL对总体人群并未带来更差的预后。然而,Kaplan-Meier亚组分析表明,Lp(a)升高的2型糖尿病(T2D)女性与T2D男性和非T2D患者相比预后更差(对数秩检验:=0.03),但在其他高危心血管状态(如吸烟、高血压、左心室射血分数降低或肥胖)中并非如此。经过Cox多变量调整后,Lp(a)仍然是T2D女性亚组中硬性事件的独立决定因素,风险比为2.9(95%可信区间1.1-7.7,<0.05)。因此,Lp(a)是T2D女性发生硬性事件的强有力独立预测因素,但在T2D男性或非T2D患者中并非如此。
