Although the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis is established, whether this relationship remains important after lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is still unclear. Recently in The Lancet, Ridker et al. demonstrated that residual inflammatory risk was a stronger predictor of fatal and non-fatal events compared to residual cholesterol risk, supporting the concept of inflammation testing to guide vascular risk reduction.
尽管炎症在动脉粥样硬化中的作用已得到确立,但在降低低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)后这种关系是否仍然重要尚不清楚。最近,里德克尔等人在《柳叶刀》杂志上表明,与残留胆固醇风险相比,残留炎症风险是致命和非致命事件的更强预测因子,这支持了通过炎症检测来指导血管风险降低的概念。
