"INTRODUCTION: Lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp\u200APLA2) represent new cardiovascular risk factor and potential treatment target. We aimed to analyze the epidemiological situation of this factor in Czech population. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population consisted from 1 962 subjects, a random samples of general population (postMONICA study), and from patients with manifest coronary or cerebrovascular disease (Czech samples of EUROASPIRE III survey). Lp\u200APLA2 activity was estimated using commercial kits by diaDexus Inc. in frozen samples. Increased activity (by definition, i.e. higher than195 nmol/\u200Amin/\u200Aml) was observed in 21.1 % of sample, no apparent difference between subject with and without manifest vascular disease was found. Males showed higher Lp\u200APLA2 activity, than females (179.6 vs 146, resp., p less than 0.0001), while no substantial increase with age was observed. Taking Lp\u200APLA2 activity higher than195 as dependent variable, following independent variables entered the multiple logistic regression: male gender (with odds ratio 4.26 (3.26-\u200A5.58)), low HDL cholesterol (i.e. less than 1.0 mmol/\u200Al in males or less than 1.2 mmol/\u200Al in females) (3.49 (2.62-\u200A4.64)), LDLcholesterol higher than2.5 mmol/\u200Al (6.95 (4.79-\u200A10.07)) and lipid \u200Alowering treatment (0.59 (0.44-\u200A0.79)). In subject without manifest vascular disease, 6.3 % of them showed co\u200Aincidence of markedly increased Lp\u200APLA2 activity with high conventional risk (SCORE higher than10 %). Expanding this group by intermediate risk subjects (ie. with Lp\u200APLA2 activity 152-\u200A194 and/\u200Aor SCORE 5-\u200A9.9 %) leads to increase of this prevalence to 28.9 % of primary prevention subjects. CONCLUSION: Increased Lp\u200APLA2 activity is in Czech population highly prevalent and with exception of lipid parameters, generally independent from conventional cardiovascular risk. However, up to 29 % of subject in primary prevention amalgamate increased Lp\u200APLA2 activity with high conventional cardiovascular risk." . . .
