Abstract
Blacks have less CAC and more favorable lipoprotein profiles than whites. Racial differences in CAC are not attributable to differences in lipoprotein particle sizes. Future studies of mechanisms of race-related differences in CAC may enhance understanding of the pathophysiology of racial differences in cardiovascular disease.

In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP, and hypertension will be controlled only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.

JAMALow-Density Lipoprotein Subclass Patterns and Risk of Myocardial Infarction
1,738 Citations1988Melissa A. Austin
The association of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subclass patterns with coronary heart disease was investigated in a case-control study of nonfatal myocardial infarction and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that both high-density cholesterol and triglyceride levels contributed to the risk associated with the small, dense LDL subclass pattern.

These results represent the first prospective evidence suggesting that the presence of small, dense LDL particles may be associated with an increased risk of subsequently developing IHD in men and suggest that the risk attributed to small LDL particle may be partly independent of the concomitant variation in plasma lipoprotein-lipid concentrations.

The increased atherogenic risk associated with the pattern B phenotype may result in part from increased concentrations of lipoprotein subpopulations that are relatively susceptible to oxidative modification.
