Abstract:
The present invention inter alia provides a method, and use thereof, of predicting severe CVD complications such as AMI or CVD death by detecting the lipid concentrations or lipid ratios of a biological sample and comparing it to a control and has identified specific lipid markers that are more specific and sensitive in predicting these CVD complications than currently utilized clinical markers. Also provided is an antibodies towards said lipids, and the use thereof for predicting, diagnosing, preventing and/or treating CVD complications. The invention additionally relates to kits comprising lipids and/or an antibody thereto, for use in the prediction and/or diagnosis of CVD complications.
Abstract:
The present invention inter alia provides a method, and uses thereof, of predicting statin-induced muscle toxicity or its complications, such as myalgia, myopathy and rhabdomyolysis, by detecting the lipid concentrations or lipid-lipid concentration ratios of a biological sample and comparing them to a control. This method has identified lipid markers that are more specific and sensitive in detecting these statin-induced muscle toxicity than the currently utilized clinical markers. Also provided is an antibody towards said lipids, and the use thereof for predicting, diagnosing, statin-induced muscle toxicity. The invention additionally relates to kits comprising lipids and/or an antibody thereto, for use in the prediction and/or diagnosis of statin-induced muscle toxicity.
Abstract:
The present invention inter alia provides a method, and use thereof, of diagnosing and/or predicting atherosclerosis or CVD by detecting the lipid concentrations or lipid ratios of a biological sample and comparing it to a control and has identified specific lipid markers that are more specific and sensitive in detecting and predicting atherosclerosis and CVD than currently utilized clinical markers. Also provided is an antibody towards said lipids, and the use thereof for predicting, diagnosing, preventing and/or treating atherosclerosis or CVD. The invention additionally relates to kits comprising lipids and/or an antibody thereto, for use in the prediction and/or diagnosis of atherosclerosis or CVD.
Abstract:
The present invention inter alia provides a method, and use thereof, of predicting CV complications such as AMI, ACS, stroke, and CV death by determining the concentrations of at least one ceramide of Group A and at least one ceramide of Group B in a biological sample and comparing those concentrations to a control. Finding a decreased concentration of at least one Group A ceramide and an increased concentration of at least one Group B ceramide indicates that the subject has an increased risk of developing one or more CV complications. Also provided are a newly identified subset of ceramide molecules, labelled versions thereof, and kits and compositions comprising the same for use in predicting and/or diagnosing CV complications.

Abstract:
The present invention inter alia provides a method, and use thereof, of predicting CV events such as AMI, ACS, stroke, and CV death by determining the concentration of at least one ceramide of Formula I or one lysophospholipid of Formula II and/or III and at least one lysophospholipid of Formula IV, V, VI, VII and/or VIII in a biological sample and comparing those concentrations to a control. Finding an increased concentration of the at least one Formula I ceramide or Formula II and/or III lysophospholipid and a decreased concentration of the at least one Formula IV, V, VI, VII and/or VIII lysophospholipid indicates that the subject has an increased risk of developing one or more CV events. The present disclosure also provides a method, and use thereof, of diagnosing subjects suffering acute ischemia. Also provided are kits and compositions comprising the same for use in predicting and/or diagnosing CV events.

Abstract:
The present invention inter alia relates to methods and uses involving the determination of lipid/lipid concentration ratios in order to diagnose, predict, prevent and/or treat atherosclerosis or cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its complications including, e.g., acute myocardial infarction. The methods include analyzing lipid concentrations and resulting lipid/lipid concentration ratios of a non-high density lipoprotein samples from patients and comparing them to a control.
