Key result
Male CAD patients show higher fasting and postprandial triglycerides compared to healthy controls.

Are postprandial triglyceride levels associated with coronary artery disease?
p-value: p=0.001
Postprandial triglyceride levels are significantly elevated in patients with CAD and may serve as a more sensitive marker than fasting triglycerides.
May refine CAD risk assessment in men; leaves open whether postprandial triglycerides add prognostic value beyond fasting levels in prospective cohorts.
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of mortality worldwide and determination of contributing factors is essential. AIM: This study was conducted to study the relation of postprandial triglyceride as a risk of coronary artery disease in patients with proven CAD by angiography, referred to 502 Hospital of Army in 2015. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This observational study conducted as a case-control and contained 80 male participants referred to 502 Hospital of Army. Half of these participants had proven CAD by angiography test and the other ones were healthy as a control group. Fasting serum triglyceride was evaluated in all participants and postprandial TG was checked 4 hours after a standard meal. Obtained data were analyzed by SPSS ver. 13. RESULTS: The results indicated that fasting TG and postprandial TG level were significantly higher in CAD patients (P-value=0.001). It was also shown evaluation of postprandial TG is more sensitive test than fasting TG in case of CAD patients. CONCLUSION: Our obtained results shown, evaluation of high level of postprandial TG is more reliable than fasting TG for patients whom suffer from CAD.

Mohammad Mehdi Johari Moghadam (2016) conducted a case-control in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) (n=80). Postprandial triglyceride levels vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Fasting and postprandial triglyceride levels (p=0.001). Fasting and postprandial triglyceride levels were significantly higher in male patients with coronary artery disease compared to healthy controls (P=0.001).
