Exposure / Comparator
Postprandial hyperlipidaemia
Postprandial hyperlipidemia, driven by the accumulation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and accentuated by insulin resistance, represents a potential mechanism for increased coronary artery disease risk.
Limitations
- Prospective studies of how these lipid variables relate to CAD progression are needed.
- Lack of prospective studies on how postprandial lipid variables relate to CAD progression
Cite This Study
Fredrik Karpe (1997) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease and postprandial hyperlipidaemia. Postprandial hyperlipidaemia was evaluated. Postprandial hyperlipidaemia and the accumulation of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
