- Imaging biomarkers to track subclinical atherosclerosis in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia(2013) MINAME, Marcio H.; SANTOS, Raul D.Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolennia (FH) is characterized by high LDL cholesterol levels and premature coronary heart disease onset. Nonetheless, the course of coronary disease events in heterozygous FH subjects is variable. The presence and severity of subclinical atherosclerosis predicts cardiovascular event onset and may help reclassify the risk of clinical events in the general population. In this review, we discuss the possible use of subclinical coronary, carotid and aortic atherosclerosis testing in heterozygous FH subjects for cardiovascular risk stratification and treatment. Many FH subjects present an increased and precocious burden of subclinical vascular disease in comparison to normolipidemic subjects. These subjects may be at higher risk of cardiovascular events and might deserve more aggressive lipid-lowering treatment. Nevertheless, routine screening of imaging biomarkers for FH subjects in clinical practice remains to be determined in prospective trials.
- Familial hypercholesterolemia prevalence in an admixed racial society: Sex and race matter. The ELSA-Brasil(2018) HARADA, Paulo H.; MINAME, Marcio H.; BENSENOR, Isabela M.; SANTOS, Raul D.; LOTUFO, Paulo A.Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with high cardiovascular burden of disease. FH prevalence may vary widely across populations and data in race/ethnically diverse and admixed populations is scarce. ELSA-Brasil epidemiology may be widely generalizable in this regard, and we calculated the ELSA-Brasil FH prevalence and its variation according to age, sex and race/ethnicity. Methods: In 14,460 individuals aged from 35 to 75 years from the ELSA-Brasil cohort baseline, we classified FH according to the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria score >= 6 (probable and definite FH). LDL-C levels were adjusted for statin use. We calculated the overall ELSA-Brasil FH prevalence and the weighted prevalence for age, sex and race/ethnic categories. We extrapolated those frequencies to the Brazilian population weighting for age-sex-race/ethnicity according to the 2015 Statistics and Geography Brazilian Institute survey. Results: The overall FH prevalence per 1000 individuals in ELSA-Brasil was 3.8 (2.9, 4.9) or 1 in 263. The age/sex/race-ethnicity-weighted FH prevalences were: male, 3.0 (1.7, 4.4) or 1 in 333; female, 4.1 (3.0, 5.2) or 1 in 244 (p<0.001). White race prevalence was 2.4 (1.9, 3.0) or 1 in 417; Brown, 4.9 (4.0, 5.9) or 1 in 204; and Black 6.4 (41.1, 8.7) or 1 in 156 (p<0.001). The weighted extrapolation for the Brazilian population derived similar magnitude frequencies. Conclusions: FH affects 1 in 263 in ELSA-Brasil and affects disproportionally more Brown (1 in 204), and Black (1 in 156), than White (1 in 417). Weighted extrapolation for the Brazilian population derived similar magnitude frequencies.
- Health related quality of life in individuals at high risk for familial hypercholesterolemia undergoing genetic cascade screening in Brazil(2018) SOUTO, Ana Cristina; MINAME, Marcio H.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia; JANNES, Cinthia E.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; HAGGER, Martin; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; SANTOS, Raul D.Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with high risk of early major cardiovascular events (MACE) that can impact the health related quality of life (HRQoL), however, this association is unclear. This study evaluated HRQoL in index cases (IC) and first-degree relatives (FDR) of individuals at high risk of FH undergoing genetic cascade screening. Methods: Data collection was performed before awareness of molecular diagnosis results. Individuals were divided into four groups according to the molecular diagnosis: IC with (ICthorn) and without (IC-) identified mutations (n = 93 and n = 175, respectively), and affected (FDRthorn, n = 231) and non-affected (FDR-, n = 159) FDR of ICthorn. HRQoL measurements, mental (MCS) and physical component (PCS) scores were carried out with SF-12 questionnaire. Associations were tested by generalized linear models. Results: The mean age was 49 +/- 15 years, 42.2% were men, MACE had occurred in 30.7%. Overall, both PCS and MCS did not differ between FH and non-FH individuals, however, IC trended to have lower PCS independent of FH presence (p = 0.003). Lower PCS were associated with female sex (p = 0.018), lower education (p < 0.001), professional inactivity (p = 0.028), previous MACE occurrence (p < 0.001), hypertension (p = 0.016), depression (p < 0.001) and obesity (p < 0.001). Lower MCS were associated with female sex (p = 0.009), previous MACE occurrence (p = 0.034), depression (p < 0.001) and smoking (p = 0.009). Neither the presence of FH causing mutations nor pharmacological lipid lowering treatment was associated with HRQoL. Conclusions: HRQoL is not reduced in both IC and FDR FH individuals in comparison with their nonaffected counterparts. Previous MACE and co-morbidities are associated with reduced HRQoL.
- Screening of ABCG5 and ABCG8 Genes for Sitosterolemia in a Familial Hypercholesterolemia Cascade Screening Program(2022) TADA, Mauricio Teruo; ROCHA, Viviane Zorzanelli; LIMA, Isabella Ramos; OLIVEIRA, Theo Gremen Mimary; CHACRA, Ana Paula; MINAME, Marcio Hiroshi; NUNES, Valeria Sutti; NAKANDAKARE, Edna Regina; CASTELO, Maria Helane Costa Gurgel; JANNES, Cinthia Elim; SANTOS, Raul D.; KRIEGER, Jose Eduardo; PEREIRA, Alexandre CostaBackground: Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in ABCG5/ABCG8. The disease is characterized by increased plasma plant sterols. Small case series suggest that patients with sitosterolemia have wide phenotypic heterogeneity with great variability on either plasma cholesterol levels or development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The present study aims to characterize the prevalence and clinical features of sitosterolemia participating in a familial hypercholesterolemia genetic cascade screening program. Methods: From 443 familial hypercholesterolemia index cases, 260 were negative for familial hypercholesterolemia genes and were sequenced for the ABCG5/8 genes. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of affected individuals were determined. Results: Eight (3.1%) index cases were found to be homozygous or compound heterozygous variant for ABCG5/ABCG8 genes, confirming the genetic diagnosis of sitosterolemia. Screening their relatives led to the identification of 6 additional confirmed sitosterolemia cases (3 homozygous and 3 compound heterozygous variant) and 18 carriers (heterozygous). The mean age of identified sitosterolemia cases (n=14) was 37.2 +/- 19.8 years, 50% were females, and 78.6% (all adults) presented either clinical or subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. As expected, affected individuals presented elevated plasma plant sterol levels (mean beta-Sitosterol and campesterol, respectively, 160.3 +/- 107.1 and 32.0 +/- 19.6 mu g/mL) and the highest plasma LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol was 269.0 +/- 120.0 mg/dL (range: 122-521 mg/dL). LDL-cholesterol mean reduction with therapy among cases was 65%. Eighty-three percent (83%) of identified sitosterolemia patients presented hematologic abnormalities. Conclusions: Testing genes associated with sitosterolemia in the molecular routine workflow of a familial hypercholesterolemia cascade screening program allowed the precise diagnosis of sitosterolemia in a substantial number of patients with varying LDL-C levels and high incidence of early atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and hematologic abnormalities.
- Cardiovascular disease onset in old people with severe hypercholesterolemia(2023) COUTINHO, Elaine R.; MINAME, Marcio H.; ROCHA, Viviane Z.; BITTENCOURT, Marcio S.; JANNES, Cinthia E.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; SANTOS, Raul D.Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) variants are associated with higher atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk (ASCVD) even when compared with other forms of severe hypercholesterolemia, especially in young people. Lipid lowering therapies (LLT) may change hypercholesterolemia natural history. This study aimed at evaluating factors associated with occurrence of ASCVD in old severe hypercholesterolemics diagnosed or not with FH and undergoing LLT.Methods: Hypercholesterolemic individuals >= 60 years participating on a genetic cascade screening for FH were divided in 4 groups (2 x 2) according to the presence (variant+) or not (variant-) of FH genetic variants and previous ASCVD (ASCVD+ and ASCVD-). Biomarkers associated with new incident ASCVD events were tested using Cox models. Continuous data shown as medians (%25; %75).Results: From 4,111 genotyped individuals, 377 (9.1%) were elderly [age 66 (63; 71) years], 28.9% males, 42.7% variant+, 32.1% with previous ASCVD, LLT duration 9 (5; 16) years, and on treatment LDL-cholesterol 144 (109; 200) mg/dL. After 4.8 (7; 3) years of follow up there were 47 incident events (12.4%, 2.7% patient/year). The annualized event rates were 0.8% (95% CI 0.36%; 1.70%), 2.3% (95% CI 1.3%; 4.1%), 5.2% (95% CI 2.8%; 9.7%) and 6.3% (95% CI 4.0%; 10.0%) respectively for groups variant-/ASCVD-, variant+/ASCVD-, variant-/ ASCVD+ and, variant+/ASCVD+ (p log rank p < 0.001). Only presence of previous ASCVD was independently associated with incident ASCVD [hazard ratio 3.236 (95%CI 1.497-6.993, p = 0.003)]. No interaction was found for previous ASCVD and variants.Conclusions: In old severe hypercholesterolemic individuals undergoing long-term LLT previous ASCVD was associated with incident events while FH causing variants were not.
- Vascular age derived from coronary artery calcium score on the risk stratification of individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia(2020) MINAME, Marcio H.; BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommers; PEREIRA, Alexandre C.; JANNES, Cinthia E.; KRIEGER, Jose E.; NASIR, Khurram; SANTOS, Raul D.Aims The objective of this study was to evaluate if vascular age derived from coronary artery calcium (CAC) score improves atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk discrimination in primary prevention asymptomatic heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients undergoing standard lipid-lowering therapy. Methods and results Two hundred and six molecularly confirmed FH individuals (age 45 +/- 14 years, 36% males, baseline LDL-cholesterol 6.2 +/- 2.2 mmol/L; 239 +/- 85mg/dL) were followed by 4.4 +/- 2.9 years (median: 3.7 years, interquartile ranges 2.7-6.8). CAC measurement was performed, and lipid-lowering therapy was optimized according to FH guidelines. Vascular age was derived from CAC and calculated according to the Multi Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis algorithm. Risk estimation based on the Framingham equations was calculated for both biological (bFRS) and vascular (vaFRS) age. During follow-up, 15 ASCVD events (7.2%) were documented. The annualized rate of events for bFRS <10%, 10-20%, and >20% was respectively: 8.45 [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.17-22.52], 23.28 (95% CI 9.69-55.94), and 28.13 (95% CI 12.63-62.61) per 1000 patients. The annualized rate of events for vaFRS <10%, 10-20%, and >20% was respectively: 0, 0, and 50.37 (95% CI 30.37-83.56) per 1000 patients. vaFRS presented a better discrimination for ASCVD events compared to bFRS 0.7058 (95% CI 0.5866-0.8250) vs. vaFRS 0.8820 (95% CI 0.8286-0.9355), P= 0.0005. Conclusion CAC derived vascular age can improve ASCVD risk discrimination in primary prevention FH subjects. This tool may help further stratify risk in FH patients already receiving lipid-lowering medication who might be candidates for further treatment with newer therapies.
- Epicardial fat is associated with severity of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in familial hypercholesterolemia(2016) MANGILI, Leonardo C.; MANGILI, Otavio C.; BITTENCOURT, Marcio S.; MINAME, Marcio H.; HARADA, Paulo H.; LIMA, Leonardo M.; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; SANTOS, Raul D.Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disorder characterized by elevated blood cholesterol, increased prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis and high risk of premature coronary heart disease. However, this risk is not explained solely by elevated LDL-cholesterol concentrations, and other factors may influence atherosclerosis development. There is evidence that increased adiposity may predispose to atherosclerosis in FH. Epicardial fat has been associated with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in the general population. This study evaluated the association of epicardial fat (EFV) volume with the presence and extent of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis detected by computed tomography angiography in FH patients. Methods: Ninety-seven FH subjects (35% male, mean age 45 +/- 13 years, LDL-C 281 +/- 56 mg/dL, 67% with proven molecular defects) underwent computed tomography angiography and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. EFV was measured in non-contrast images using a semi-automated method. Segment-stenosis score (SSS) and segment-involvement score (SIS) were calculated. Multivariate Poisson regression was utilized to assess an independent association of EFV with coronary atherosclerotic burden. Results: EFV was positively associated with age, body mass index, waist circumference, blood glucose, the presence of the metabolic syndrome components, but not with LDL-C. After adjusting for confounders and abdominal circumference, an independent association (shown as beta coefficients and 95% confidence intervals) of EVF with CAC scores [beta = 0.263 (0.234; 0.292), p = 0.000], SIS [beta = 0.304 (0.141; 0.465) p = 0.000] and SSS [beta = 0.296 (0.121; 0.471), p = 0.001] was found. Conclusions: In FH, EFV was independently associated with coronary atherosclerotic presence and severity.
- Update on Sitosterolemia and Atherosclerosis(2023) ROCHA, Viviane Zorzanelli; TADA, Mauricio Teruo; CHACRA, Ana Paula Marte; MINAME, Marcio Hiroshi; MIZUTA, Marjorie H. H.Purpose of ReviewThe purpose of this review was to summarize important and updated information on sitosterolemia. Sitosterolemia is an inherited lipid disorder consisting of high levels of plasma plant sterols. This sterol storage condition is caused by biallelic loss-of-function genetic variants in either ABCG5 or ABCG8, leading to increased intestinal absorption and decreased hepatic excretion of plant sterols. Clinically, patients with sitosterolemia usually exhibit xanthomatosis, high levels of plasma cholesterol, and premature atherosclerotic disease, but presentation can be highly heterogeneous. Therefore, recognition of this condition requires a high level of suspicion, with confirmation upon genetic diagnosis or through measurement of plasma phytosterols. Treatment of sitosterolemia with both a plant sterol-restricted diet and the intestinal cholesterol absorption inhibitor ezetimibe can reduce efficiently the levels of plasma plant sterols, consisting in the first-line therapy for this disease.Recent FindingsSince hypercholesterolemia is often present in individuals with sitosterolemia, it is important to search for genetic variants in ABCG5 and ABCG8 in patients with clinical criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), but no variants in FH implicated genes. Indeed, recent studies have suggested that genetic variants in ABCG5/ABCG8 can mimic FH, and even when in heterozygosis, they may potentially exacerbate the phenotype of patients with severe dyslipidemia.Sitosterolemia is a genetic lipid disorder characterized by increased circulating levels of plant sterols and clinically manifested by xanthomatosis, hematologic disorders, and early atherosclerosis. Awareness about this condition, a rare, but commonly underdiagnosed and yet treatable cause of premature atherosclerotic disease, is imperative.
- Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Framingham Risk Score in Apparently Healthy Vegetarian and Omnivorous Men(2018) NAVARRO, Julio Cesar Acosta; ANTONIAZZI, Luiza; OKI, Adrian Midori; BONFIM, Maria Carlos; HONG, Valeria; BORTOLOTTO, Luiz Aparecido; ACOSTA-CARDENAS, Pedro; SANDRIM, Valeria; MINAME, Marcio Hiroshi; SANTOS FILHO, Raul Dias dosBackground: Recent studies have shown a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MSyn) in vegetarians (VEG) despite the inconclusive evidence from others. Objective: To verify the association between diet and other lifestyle characteristics and the prevalence of MSyn, cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), and Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in apparently healthy VEG and omnivorous (OMN) men. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 88 apparently healthy men >= 35 years, 44 VEG and 44 OMN, were assessed for anthropometric data, blood pressure, blood lipids, glucose, C-reactive protein (CRP) and FRS. To test the association between lifestyle and MSyn, Student t test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression model were used. A significance level of 5% was considered in all statistical analyses. Results: Several CRF were significantly lower in VEG than in OMN: body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein b, glucose, and glycated hemoglobin (all p < 0.05). The FRS mean was lower in VEG than in OMN (2.98 +/- 3.7 vs 4.82 +/- 4.8, p = 0.029). The percentage of individuals with MSyn was higher among OMN than among VEG (52.3 vs.15.9%) (p < 0.001). The OMN diet was associated with MSyn (OR: 6.28 95%CI 2.11-18.71) and alterations in most MSyn components in the multiple regression model independently of caloric intake, age and physical activity. Conclusion: The VEG diet was associated with lower CRF, FRS and percentage of individuals with MSyn.
