Abstract
- Cholesterol low density lipoprotein (LDL) is strongly associated with the development of atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASCVD). The objective of this study is to assess the relationships between cholesterol LDL and complete blood count (CBC) in ASCVD patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Cardiovascular Center Harapan Kita Jakarta. A total of 75 ASCVD patients from outpatient and emergency room departments were included in this study. The Chi-square test and the regression logistic analysis test were used to assess the relationships between cholesterol LDL and CBC. In this study, LDL level was found to be associated with the levels of leucocyte, percentage of eosinophil, percentage of lymphocyte, and absolute monocyte level. Lower eosinophil and lymphocyte levels were associated with increased LDL level. Regression logistic analysis revealed that the percentage of eosinophil (95%CI, 1.20 – 8.98; p value=0.02) and absolute monocyte (95%CI, 0.11 – 0.97; p value=0.04) were significant predictors of higher LDL levels in ASCVD. Increased inflammation due to elevated LDL may have resulted in circulating blood count alterations. Leucocytes and their differential count may aid in determining chronic inflammation and the progression of ASCVD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
