Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium Is a Novel and Independent Risk Factor for Early Atherosclerosis Mechanisms and In Vivo Relevance
Barbara Messner,Michael Knoflach,Andreas Seubert,Andreas Ritsch,Kristian Pfaller,Blair Henderson,Ying H. Shen,Iris Zeller,Johann Willeit,Günther Laufer,Georg Wick,Stefan Kiechl,David Bernhard +12 more
TL;DR: Cd has promoting effects on early human and murine atherosclerosis, which were partly offset by high Zn concentrations, which showed a potent protective effect against deleterious effects of Cd both in the in vitro and human studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
HDL cholesterol: reappraisal of its clinical relevance.
Winfried März,Winfried März,Winfried März,Marcus E. Kleber,Marcus E. Kleber,Hubert Scharnagl,T Speer,Stephen Zewinger,Andreas Ritsch,Klaus G. Parhofer,Arnold von Eckardstein,Ulf Landmesser,Ulrich Laufs +12 more
TL;DR: In contrast to LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C correlates with cardiovascular risk only in healthy individuals and is currently not a valid target for drug therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum amyloid A: high-density lipoproteins interaction and cardiovascular risk.
Stephen Zewinger,Christiane Drechsler,Marcus E. Kleber,Alexander Dressel,Julia Riffel,Sarah Triem,Marlene Lehmann,Chantal Kopecky,Marcus D. Säemann,Philipp M. Lepper,Günther Silbernagel,Hubert Scharnagl,Andreas Ritsch,Barbara Thorand,Tonia de las Heras Gala,Stefan Wagenpfeil,Wolfgang Koenig,Wolfgang Koenig,Annette Peters,Ulrich Laufs,Christoph Wanner,Danilo Fliser,Thimoteus Speer,Winfried März,Winfried März,Winfried März +25 more
TL;DR: The acute-phase protein SAA modifies the biological effects of HDL-C in several clinical conditions, and the concomitant measurement of SAA is a simple, useful, and clinically applicable surrogate for the vascular functionality of HDL.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular mortality.
Guenther Silbernagel,Ben Schöttker,Sebastian Appelbaum,Hubert Scharnagl,Marcus E. Kleber,Tanja B. Grammer,Andreas Ritsch,Ute Mons,Bernd Holleczek,Georg Goliasch,Alexander Niessner,Bernhard O. Boehm,Bernhard O. Boehm,Renate B. Schnabel,Hermann Brenner,Stefan Blankenberg,Ulf Landmesser,Winfried März,Winfried März +18 more
TL;DR: The inverse relationship of HDL cholesterol with cardiovascular mortality is weakened in patients with CAD, and the usefulness of considering HDL cholesterol for cardiovascular risk stratification seems limited in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pronounced postprandial lipemia impairs endothelium-dependent dilation of the brachial artery in men.
Hannes Gaenzer,Wolfgang Sturm,Guenther Neumayr,Rudolf Kirchmair,Christoph Ebenbichler,Andreas Ritsch,Bernhard Föger,Günter Weiss,Josef R. Patsch +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that pronounced postprandial lipemia is associated with transient impairment of endothelial function and support the notion that impaired triglyceride metabolic capacity plays an important role in atherogenesis.
