Methods and Results
The IHD patients were recruited from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh, and the control healthy participants were recruited from a suburban community of Dhaka. We determined the IAP level in the stools of 292 IHD patients (187 males, 105 females) and 331 healthy control people (84 males, 247 females). We found that compared to controls, IHD patients have approx. 30% less IAP (mean ± SEM: 63.7 ± 3.5 vs. 44.9 ± 2.1 U/g stool, respectively; p < 0.000001), which indicates that IAP deficiency is associated with IHD, and a high level of IAP is probably protective against IHD in humans. The adjusted generalized linear model (GLM) of regression analysis predicted a strong association of IAP with IHD (p = 0.0035). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed an independent inverse relationship between the IAP level and the IHD status (odds ratio, OR = 0.993 with 95% CI 0.987-0.998; p < 0.01).
