Abstract

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Type II Coronary Intervention Study, a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, evaluated the efficacy of reduction in cholesterol levels induced by cholestyramine on progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). The rate of CAD progression in patients treated with cholestyramine plus diet was compared with that of patients treated with placebo plus diet. CAD progression was defined angiographically. Significant decrease in total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) and increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), as well as in HDLc/TC and HDLc/LDLc ratios, were observed with cholestyramine. HDLc change was due to increase in HDL2A and HDL2B. When the relationship between CAD progression and lipid changes was examined independent of specific treatment group, a significant inverse relationship was found between progression at 5 years and the combination of an increase in HDLc and a decrease in LDLc; changes in HDLc/TC and HDLc/LDLc were the best predictors of CAD change. While the testing of these relationships independent of treatment group was not part of the initial study design, the trends were observed in both the placebo-treated and cholestyramine-treated groups. Moreover, with multivariate analysis, the effect of cholestyramine treatment on CAD progression was eliminated by adding changes in HDLc/TC to the regression model. These findings support the hypothesis that increases in HDLc and decreases in TC (or LDLc) can prevent or delay CAD progression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
