Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. An elevated Lp(a) does increase the risk of early cardiovascular disease, but that risk is not set in stone.

Glycolysation of HDL Diabetics results in systemic glycation of all cells or whatever molecule the blood bathes in. Sounds more ominous than LDL is it not ?)

The ST segment changes are compatible with severe subendocardial ischemia which can be caused by type I MI from ACS or potentially from type II MI (non-obstructive coronary artery disease with supply/demand mismatch).

Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
