Relation of baseline plasma phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity to left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients referred for coronary angiography
Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is an important modulator of phospholipid transfer and
exchange among lipoproteins and also plays a role in inflammation and oxidative stress.
Accordingly, PLTP has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Left
ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is common in patients with atherosclerosis, and both
inflammation and oxidative stress have also been implicated in its development and
progression. The goal of the present study was to examine the relation between plasma …
