Interrelationship between coronary artery occlusion, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and alcohol intake. 1979

J J Barboriak, and A J Anderson, and R G Hoffmann

The interrelationships between coronary artery occlusion, alcohol consumption, and plasma levels of HDL cholesterol were investigated in 718 male patients undergoing coronary arteriography. A statistically significant inverse relationship was seen between the extent of coronary occlusion and alcohol intake and between coronary occlusion and plasma HDL cholesterol levels. A positive association was observed between the amounts of alcohol consumed and plasma HDL cholesterol levels, as well as between alcohol consumption and history of smoking. The findings of the present study suggest that the "retarding" effect of alcohol on coronary artery disease may be at least partially explained by the alcohol-induced rise of plasma HDL cholesterol.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
