Abstract
In 38 patients with very premature CAD, 11% were found to have low apoCII levels (≤5.0 mg/L) with normal triglyceride levels. Despite their low a priori risk for CAD, these patients presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and had a high relative risk of 10-year reinfarction or revascularization. This particular phenotype of relatively young female patients with CAD is not recognized earlier and deserves further study.
