The Claim
In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, there is a negative correlation between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels (r=-0.332, 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.
When people have a certain type of heart attack, those with lower 'bad' cholesterol tend to have lower levels of inflammation in their blood.
See the scientific wording
A negative correlation exists between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels (r=-0.332, p<0.001) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at patients with heart attacks and found that when LDL cholesterol was lower, inflammation markers were higher, which matches exactly what the claim says.
