Abstract
Although strong evidence exists linking fasting plasma levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) to risk for development of coronary artery disease (CAD), the data in support of an independent role for fasting triglyceride (TG) concentrations are weak. Humans are in the postprandial state most of the day, however, and results from both basic and clinical studies suggest that postprandial TG levels may be atherogenic. Previous studies have not, however, attempted to determine if postprandial TG levels are associated with CAD independent of other traditional risk factors or plasma lipid levels, particularly fasting plasma concentrations of TG and HDL-C. Ninety-two men and 113 women (mean age, 51.6 and 53.6 years, respectively) were recruited from populations undergoing diagnostic exercise electrocardiographic or thallium stress tests at our medical centers. Twenty-six men and 24 women had positive tests. We chose exercise-induced myocardial ischemia (EIMI) as the criterion for d...Keywords
