Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that subjects who clear chylomicron remnants slowly from plasma may be at higher risk of coronary artery disease than indicated by their fasting plasma lipid concentrations. Design: Case control study over three years. Setting: An 800 bed general municipal hospital. Subjects: 85 normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease selected prospectively and matched with 85 normolipidaemic subjects with normal coronary arteries on angiography. Interventions: All subjects were given a vitamin A fat loading test which specifically labels intestinal lipoproteins with retinyl palmitate. Main outcome measure: Postprandial lipoprotein metabolism. Results: The area below the chylomicron remnant retinyl palmitate curve was significantly increased in the coronary artery disease group as compared with the controls (mean 23.4 (SD 15.0) v 15.3 (8.9) µmol/l.h; 95% confidence interval of difference 4.37 to 11.82). Conclusions: Normolipidaemic patients with coronary artery disease had significantly higher concentrations of chylomicron remnants in plasma than normolipidaemic subjects with normal coronary vessels. This may explain the mechanism underlying the susceptibility to atherosclerosis of coronary artery disease patients with normal fasting lipid values. As diet and drugs can ameliorate the accumulation of postprandial lipoproteins in plasma, the concentration of chylomicron remnants should be measured in patients at high risk of coronary artery disease. Key messages Key messages The atherogenic effect of postprandial lipoproteins is hypothesised to be inversely related to their metabolic capacity Patients with coronary artery disease have decreased metabolic capacity of chylomicron remnants as compared with subjects with normal coronary arteries An ensuing postprandial dyslipidaemia may exist in patients with coronary artery disease who have normal fasting lipid values A vitamin A fat loading test may be useful in identifying these patients
