The Claim
In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are associated with higher levels of highly sensitive C-reactive protein, indicating an increased inflammatory burden.
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.
When someone has a serious heart attack, having lower 'bad' cholesterol might actually mean there's more inflammation happening in their body, which could be a sign of worse health.
