Associations between lipids and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Whether HIV modifies the relationship of serum lipids with coronary atherosclerosis and coronary plaque subtypes is uncertain. We examined the associations between traditional lipids and coronary atherosclerosis among HIV-infected (HIV+) and HIV-uninfected (HIV-) men. DESIGN:The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study is an observational cohort with a total of 429 HIV+ and 303 HIV- men who had non-contrast cardiac computed tomography performed to measure coronary artery calcium and coronary computed tomography angiography to measure coronary stenosis, coronary plaque presence, and composition. METHODS:We used multivariable adjusted prevalence ratios to examine the relationship between the SD difference in each lipid parameter and coronary atherosclerosis. RESULTS:Total cholesterol (TC)/HDL-cholesterol had the strongest associations with coronary atherosclerosis regardless of HIV status. Overall, lipid parameters were most strongly associated with the presence of mixed plaque, stenosis more than 50%, and coronary artery calcium for both HIV+ and HIV- men. HIV+ men had similar, but weaker associations, between lipid parameters and coronary atherosclerosis compared with HIV- men. The strongest association was between the TC/HDL-cholesterol and stenosis more than 50% for both HIV+ [prevalence ratios 1.25 per SD (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.43)] and HIV- men [prevalence ratios 1.46 per SD (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.85)]. CONCLUSION:The associations between lipids and coronary atherosclerosis tended to be weaker for HIV+ compared with HIV- men, although TC/HDL had the strongest association for both HIV+ and HIV- men. A weaker association between lipid levels and coronary atherosclerosis for HIV+ men may contribute to the decreased discrimination of cardiovascular disease risk observed in HIV+ individuals.

Project description:ObjectiveWhile the risk of acute coronary events has been associated with biological variability of circulating cholesterol, the association with variability of other atherogenic lipids remains less understood. We evaluated the longitudinal variability of 284 lipids and investigated their association with asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis. Approach and Results: Circulating lipids were extracted from fasting blood samples of 83 community-sampled symptom-free participants (age 41-75 years), collected longitudinally over 6 months. Three types of coronary plaque volume (calcified, lipid-rich, and fibrotic) were quantified using computed tomography coronary angiogram. We first deconvoluted between-subject (CVg) and within-subject (CVw) lipid variabilities. We then tested whether the mean lipid abundance was different across groups categorized by Framingham risk score and plaques phenotypes (lipid-rich, fibrotic, and calcified). Finally, we investigated whether visit-to-visit variability of each lipid was associated with plaque burden. Most lipids (72.5%) exhibited higher CVg than CVw. Among the lipids (n=145) with 1.2-fold higher CVg than CVw, 26 species including glycerides and ceramides were significantly associated with Framingham risk score and the 3 plaque phenotypes (false discovery rate <0.05). In an exploratory analysis of person-specific visit-to-visit variability without multiple testing correction, high variability of 3 lysophospholipids (lysophosphatidylethanolamines 16:0, 18:0, and lysophosphatidylcholine O-18:1) was associated with lipid-rich and fibrotic (noncalcified) plaque volume while high variability of diacylglycerol 18:1_20:0, triacylglycerols 52:2, 52:3, and 52:4, ceramide d18:0/20:0, dihexosylceramide d18:1/16:0, and sphingomyelin 36:3 was associated with calcified plaque volume.ConclusionsHigh person-specific longitudinal variation of specific nonsterol lipids is associated with the burden of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. Larger studies are needed to confirm these exploratory findings.
