Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) is an important modulator of phospholipid transfer and exchange among lipoproteins and also plays a role in inflammation and oxidative stress. Accordingly, PLTP has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is common in patients with atherosclerosis, and both inflammation and oxidative stress have also been implicated in its development and progression. The goal of the present study was to examine the relation between plasma levels of PLTP and LV systolic function. Baseline plasma PLTP activity was measured in 389 male patients referred for coronary angiography for a variety of indications. Detailed clinical, angiographic and laboratory characteristics were available for the patients. Compared to those patients with normal LV function (defined as an ejection fraction of >=55% on ventriculography), patients with any degree of LV dysfunction had elevated PLTP activity (median PLTP 17.8 pmol/ul/h versus 15.9 pmol/ul/h, p=0.0038). Using multivariate analysis, and adjusting for a variety of confounding variables known to affect both LV function and PLTP activity, PLTP activity was an independent predictor of the presence of any left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the entire population (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.12–1.93, p=0.0052). Furthermore, PLTP activity was an independent predictor of the presence of LV dysfunction in both patients with and without myocardial infarction on presentation (OR 2.39, 95% CI 1.18–4.86, p=0.0161 and OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.05–1.89, p=0.0206, respectively). In conclusion, PLTP activity may represent a novel marker of LV systolic dysfunction in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
