Abstract:
The invention provides a method for identifying patients who will require multiple invasive cardiac procedures comprising measuring elevated LDL IVb levels in patients who have had or will have invasive heart surgery.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for identifying patients with normal NCEP lipid levels who are in need of treatment for cardiovascular disease comprising measuring one or more LDL or HDL particle subclass levels and identifying abnormal LDL or HDL subclass levels. LDL III anullb and HDL 2b are preferred subclasses.
Abstract translation:本发明提供了一种用于鉴定需要治疗心血管疾病的正常NCEP脂质水平的患者的方法,包括测量一种或多种LDL或HDL颗粒亚类水平并鉴定异常的LDL或HDL亚类水平。 LDL III a + b和HDL 2b是优选的亚类。
Abstract:
The invention provides a data base of LDL, I, Ia, IIb, IIIa, IIb, IVa, IVb and HDL2a, HDL2b, HDL 3a, HDL 3b and HDL 3c together with patient data such as HDL-C, LDL-C, Apo A, ApoB, Lp(a) and patient personal data useful for treatment, diagnosing, and monitoring cardiovascular disease. The data base contains the LDL and HDL subfraction data in quantitative mg/dl values and permits deriving relationship amongst the LDL and HDL values and cardiovascular disease. Quantitative data permits more effective treatment and monitoring of cardiovascular disease. For example, quantitative differences in LDL and HDL subclass levels can determine the need for more or less aggressive treatment. The data base which includes patient events, procedures, interventions which is correlated to LDL and HD1 quantitative subclass data permits development of personalized patient treatment plans and monitoring the effectiveness of such treatment. Thus, LDL and HDL quantitative subfraction data can be used to more effectively treat and monitor cardiovascular disease. The invention, for example, provides a method for identifying patients with normal NCEP lipid levels who are in need of treatment for cardiovascular disease comprising measuring one or more LDL or HDL particle subclass levels and identifying abnormal LDL or HDL subclass levels. LDL III a & b and HDL 2b are preferred subclasses.
