Popis: Background Although increased circulating levels of malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), there is no direct evidence that increased MDA-LDL is a prognostic factor for CAD. Methods Forty-two patients (20 diabetic and 22 non-diabetic patients) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled, and their baseline MDA-LDL levels were determined by immunoassay. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed at 2 to 7 months post-PCI. The patients were then divided into 2 groups, with in-stent restenosis (ISR) (n = 13) and without ISR (n = 29), and the baseline MDA-LDL levels were compared. We also studied 34 diabetics with CAD for up to 57 months until the onset of the next coronary event. Results In the diabetic patients, the mean MDA-LDL level was significantly higher in those with ISR than in those without ISR (151 +/− 61 vs. 90 +/− 26 U/l, p = 0.010). A baseline MDA-LDL value of 110 U/l for differentiating between diabetics with and without ISR was defined as the cut-off value. Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that a circulating MDA-LDL of ≥ 110 U/l correlated significantly with a higher prevalence of cardiac events than MDA-LDL Conclusions Circulating MDA-LDL is a useful prognostic marker for future cardiac event in diabetic patients with CAD.
