The Claim
In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels are significantly higher in the lowest low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertile compared to higher tertiles (p<0.001).
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In heart attack patients, those with the lowest 'bad' cholesterol levels tend to have more inflammation than those with higher 'bad' cholesterol levels.
See the scientific wording
Highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels are significantly higher in the lowest low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tertile compared to higher tertiles (p<0.001) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that patients with the lowest bad cholesterol levels had the highest inflammation markers, which matches exactly what the claim says.
