Association of oxidized ApoB and oxidized ApoA-I with high-risk coronary plaque features in cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oxidized apolipoprotein B (oxLDL) and oxidized ApoA-I (oxHDL) are proatherogenic. Their prognostic value for assessing high-risk plaques by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is missing.

Methods

In a prospective, observational study, 306 participants with cardiovascular disease (CVD) had extensive lipoprotein profiling. Proteomics analysis was performed on isolated oxHDL, and atherosclerotic plaque assessment was accomplished by quantitative CCTA.

Results

Patients were predominantly White, overweight men (58.5%) on statin therapy (43.5%). Increase in LDL-C, ApoB, small dense LDL-C (P < 0.001 for all), triglycerides (P = 0.03), and lower HDL function were observed in the high oxLDL group. High oxLDL associated with necrotic burden (NB; β = 0.20;
