The Sialylation Pathway and Coronary Artery Disease

- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes or insulin resistance
- Sedentary lifestyle
Conclusion
Plasma levels of non–high-density (non-HDL) cholesterol are causally linked to the risk of coronary artery disease. Non-HDL cholesterol levels are a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol alone, because non-HDL cholesterol comprises all known cholesterol-containing lipoproteins that can cause atherosclerosis, including LDL, very-low-density lipoprotein, intermediate-density lipoprotein, chylomicrons and their remnants, and lipoprotein(a).

DEFINITION
SYMPTOMS
This can lead to chest pain (angina) or a heart attack. Most heart attacks happen when a blood clot suddenly cuts off the hearts' blood supply, causing permanent heart damage.
- Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women.
- CAD happens when the arteries that supply blood to heart muscle become hardened and narrowed.
- This is due to the buildup of cholesterol and other material, called plaque, on their inner walls.
- This buildup is called atherosclerosis.
- As it grows, less blood can flow through the arteries. As a result, the heart muscle can't get the blood or oxygen it needs.
