Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A 2 and C-Reactive Protein for Risk-Stratification of Patients With TIA

Abstract: Background and Purpose-Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2 ) is a marker of unstable atherosclerotic plaque, and is predictive of both primary and secondary stroke in population-based studies. Methods-We conducted a prospective study of patients with acute TIA who presented to the ED. Clinical risk scoring using the ABCD 2 score was determined and Lp-PLA 2 mass (LpPLA 2 -M) and activity (LpPLA 2 -A) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. The primary outcome measure was a co… Show more

“…The link between elevated Lp-PLA2 activity and the risks of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events has been investigated in several studies [25][26][27] . The present study with at least 90 days follow-up of 130 consecutive patients presented with acute IS showed that Lp-PLA2 mRNA expression of PBMNCs was significantly higher in patients with acute IS than in healthy controls.…”

“…This distribution of hsCRP was almost identical with that of other stroke studies. 9,10 Characteristics of patients after stratification by relative risk of hsCRP are shown in Table 1. The patients with high hsCRP levels were significantly older, had higher body mass index and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, had histories of ischemic stroke and hypertension, had minor stroke, and received hypoglycemic treatment (Table 1).…”

“…7 However, the association between hsCRP and recurrent stroke is less established. [8][9][10] On the contrary, disability from stroke has brought huge personal and societal burden. Though the predictive value of hsCRP in mortality has been proved, 11,12 its association with functional disability in the patients with stroke is still undefined.…”

“…Candidate approaches have rendered few biomarkers to be useful in the prognosis of TIA patients such as C-reactive protein, 7 copeptin, 8 and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A (Lp-PLA), 9 but the validity of the proposed biomarkers is debated. 10 Regarding biomarker discovery for etiology classification, only the activity of Lp-PLA2 has been shown effective for the detection of LAA, 9,11 and very recently pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels have been associated with the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.…”
