Joint effect of visit-to-visit variability in LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and HbA1c on cardiovascular and total mortality in patients with diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to investigate the joint effect of visit-to-visit variability (VVV) in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) on cardiovascular mortality and total mortality in patients with diabetes.

Methods

Among 5194 participants with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the ACCORD lipid trial, VVVs of LDL-C, triglycerides, HDL-C, and HbA1c were assessed from baseline to 2 years of follow-up and expressed as coefficient of variation (CV). The study outcomes included cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality.

Results

Over a median follow-up of 3.0 years from the end of variability measurements at years 2, there were 305 (5.9%) cases of all-cause mortality, of which, 144 were cardiovascular causes. The positive relations between LDL-C CV and cardiovascular mortality were significantly stronger among participants with higher HDL-C CV (P for interaction = 0.023), and higher HbA1c CV (P for interaction = 0.015). However, there were no significant interactions between LDL-C CV and triglycerides CV (P for interaction = 0.591). Similar trends were found for all-cause mortality. Consistently, there were graded trends in the risk of mortality with the increasing numbers of higher CV of the three variables: LDL-C, HbA1c, and HDL-C (P for trend = 0.008 for cardiovascular mortality, and P for trend < 0.001 for all-cause mortality).

Conclusion

VVVs in LDL-C, HDL-C, and HbA1c may jointly affect the risks of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in diabetes patients. Those with higher CVs of all three variables had the highest risks of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.

Project description:AimsThe total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio may carry additional information not available in more commonly used single cholesterol measures. Analysis of discordance between lipid parameters might help assess the impact of such additional information on the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the role of the TC/HDL-cholesterol ratio in determining atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk when discordant with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol.MethodsWe studied 14,403 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study participants who were free of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at baseline. TC/HDL-cholesterol discordance with LDL-cholesterol (estimated by the novel Martin/Hopkins method) and non-HDL-cholesterol was assessed at five visits and determined by being at or above the median for each lipid parameter. We constructed Cox proportional hazard models to estimate the risk for incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events associated with each lipid concordance/discordance category using a time-varying approach.ResultsMean age of participants was 54.1 years, 56% women and 25% black. There were 2634 atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events over a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 24.2 (16.0-25.4) years. Among individuals with LDL-cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol less than the median, 26% and 21% had discordant TC/HDL-cholesterol at or above the median, respectively. These individuals had a 24% (hazard ratio (HR) 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09, 1.41) and 29% (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.13, 1.46) greater risk of incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, respectively, compared to those with TC/HDL-cholesterol less than the median after multivariable adjustment. In individuals with diabetes with LDL-cholesterol or non-HDL-cholesterol less than the median, discordant TC/HDL-cholesterol at or above the median was more prevalent at 48% and 38%, respectively.ConclusionClinically significant discordance exists between TC/HDL-cholesterol, available from the standard lipid profile, and the routinely used non-HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. Such discordance may help inform atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk management, particularly in individuals with diabetes in whom discordance is more common.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the superiority of non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) as lipid markers for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), these are only suitable as secondary markers. We compared LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, and ApoB concentrations with respect to the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in adults enrolled in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES).MethodsWe used information on age; sex; medical history; family history of ASCVD; current lipid-lowering therapy; current smoking status; and creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, and ApoB concentrations from 5,872 KoGES participants without ASCVD. New ASCVD development was monitored during the 8-year follow-up period. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for ASCVD of LDL-C, non-HDL-C, and ApoB concentrations were calculated based on the multivariate Cox regression analyses. The participants were also grouped as low and high according to the median values for each lipid marker, and calculated aHRs of each group combined by two lipid makers.ResultsApoB showed the highest aHR per 1-SD for ASCVD (1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-1.43), followed by non-HDL-C (1.25; 95% CI, 1.11-1.41) and LDL-C (1.20; 95% CI, 1.06-1.37). The group with low LDL-C and high ApoB concentrations had a significantly higher aHR for ASCVD (1.61; 95% CI, 1.05-2.48) compared to the reference group values (low LDL-C and low ApoB concentrations). The aHR for the group with high LDL-C and low ApoB concentrations was not significant (1.30; 95% CI, 0.79-2.16).ConclusionsApoB, non-HDL-C, and LDL-C are independent risk factors for ASCVD. Increases in the aHR per 1-SD for ASCVD were more strongly affected by ApoB, followed by non-HDL-C and LDL-C. Participants with low LDL-C and high ApoB concentrations showed increased ASCVD risk. For individuals with ASCVD risk factors, even those presenting normal LDL-C concentrations, measuring ApoB concentrations can provide useful information for better evaluation of ASCVD risk.
