Elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels may be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Further intervention studies are needed to confirm the association between TG and CAD.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Lipid Metabolism
  • Atherosclerosis Research

Background:

  • Decades of research on elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk have yielded inconsistent results.
  • Historically, TG's significance was overshadowed by cholesterol research, despite early associations with myocardial infarction.
  • Previous studies often found TG significant in univariate but not multivariate analyses, prompting further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the association between elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • To explore TG as a potential independent risk factor, particularly in specific patient populations.
  • To address the inconsistencies in previous research and highlight the need for further intervention studies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of epidemiological studies, including case-control, prospective, and interventional designs.
  • Analysis of TG levels in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICD), CAD, and hypertension.
  • Consideration of statistical factors like univariate vs. multivariate analysis discrepancies and TG distribution variability.

Main Results:

  • Studies in Taiwan consistently indicated that elevated TG may be an independent risk factor for CAD, ICD, and hypertension.
  • A significant association between elevated TG and these conditions was observed in the studied populations.
  • Discrepancies between univariate and multivariate analyses, TG variability, and genetic factors require consideration.

Conclusions:

  • The association between elevated plasma triglyceride (TG) and coronary artery disease (CAD) should not be disregarded.
  • Further intervention studies are warranted to clarify the role of TG in the primary prevention of CAD.
  • TG may represent a significant, independent risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
