PG - 1457-1465 LID - 10.1007/s00380-021-01831-0 [doi] AB - It is unclear whether higher levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) prevent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). We prospectively evaluated 501 patients who had undergone coronary computed tomography angiography at Fukuoka University Hospital and either were clinically suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) or had at least one cardiovascular risk factor with a follow-up of up to 5 years. The primary endpoint was MACE (cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization). The patients were divided into tertiles according to the HDL-C level: 47 mg/dl >/= HDL-C level [n = 167, lower HDL-C level (L-HDL)], 58 mg/dl >/= HDL-C level >/= 48 mg/dl [n = 167, middle HDL-C level (M-HDL)] and HDL-C level >/= 59 mg/dl [n = 167, higher HDL-C level (H-HDL)] groups. There were significant differences in %CAD among the L-HDL, M-HDL and H-HDL groups. Unexpectedly, there was no difference in %MACE between M-HDL and H-HDL, although %MACE in M-HDL was significantly lower than that in L-HDL (p < 0.05). By a multivariate logistic regression analysis, MACE in H-HDL-C was independently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.03). A Kaplan-Meier curve according to the HDL subgroup indicated that M-HDL, not H-HDL, enjoyed the greatest freedom from MACE among the 3 groups (log-rank test p = 0.047). Finally, the results of a Cox regression model indicated that L-HDL and H-HDL had significantly higher risk of MACE than M-HDL. In conclusions, patients with middle HDL-C levels, not higher HDL-C levels, showed the greatest freedom from MACE. Patients with higher HDL-C levels need to be strictly managed for DM to prevent MACE. CI - (c) 2021. Springer Japan KK, part of Springer Nature.
