Outline of Final Research Achievements

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol uptake capacity (HDL-CUC), a new measure of HDL functionality, and oxidized lipoprotein(a)[OxLp(a)] are attracting attention as residual risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). A case-cohort study was conducted involving stable CAD patients from the Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy with Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease (REAL-CAD) study. HDL-CUC and OxLp(a) at baseline and 6 months after randomization were measured in 2061 participants selected from the REAL-CAD study population. After multivariable adjustment, higher OxLp(a) at 6 months were significantly associated with a higher residual risk of MACEs. However, the significant association between HDL-CUC at 6 months and the residual risk of MACEs was not observed. In conclusion, OxLp(a) may be a potent marker of residual risk of MACEs in statin-treated patients with stable CAD.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

大規模臨床試験の成績では低比重リポ蛋白コレステロール(LDL-C)低下療法による心血管イベントの抑制効果はせいぜい40%程度である。したがって、心血管イベントの抑制にはLDL-Cとは別の残余リスクを同定し介入することが重要である。特に、二次予防は一次予防に比べて心血管イベントの発症率が5倍以上高いことから、二次予防ではスタチン治療後の残余リスクを同定し介入することが喫緊の課題である。本研究は酸化リポプロテイン(a)が二次予防におけるスタチン治療後の残余リスクの有用なマーカーであることを明らかにした。この新知見は酸化リポプロテイン(a)に基づく新たな2次予防戦略の構築に繋がると考えられる。
