TL;DR: Although DeWood's studies underscore the importance of obstructive CAD in AMI, it is fascinating that ∼10% had no significant CAD on coronary angiography, thereby eliciting an important set of questions—what is the mechanism of the myocardial damage in these patients?
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility to low-density lipoprotein oxidation and coronary atherosclerosis in man
TL;DR: The finding that susceptibility to LDL oxidation is associated with severity of coronary atherosclerosis may indicate that lipid oxidation promotes premature coronary Atherosclerosis and that individuals with an LDL enriched in triglycerides are at particular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mild-to-moderate hypertriglyceridemia in young men is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased plasma concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine.
TL;DR: Hypertriglyceridemia in young men is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased plasma concentration of ADMA but not with increased IMT of the common carotid artery, and the corollary is that chronic hypertrig triglyceridemia results in endothelium dysfunction, possibly due to increased ADMA concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient Triglyceridemia Decreases Vascular Reactivity in Young, Healthy Men Without Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of triglyceridemia on endothelial function in seven young, healthy men without risk factors for coronary heart disease found it decreases vascular reactivity, presumably by both endothelium-dependent and endot Helium-independent mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proneness to formation of tight and rigid fibrin gel structures in men with myocardial infarction at a young age
TL;DR: Impaired fibrinolytic function secondary to a raised plasma PAI-1 activity level is associated with abnormal fibrin gel structure and in vivo associated with myocardial infarction at a young age.
