Abstract:Background: Dyslipidaemias is one of the major risk factor for Coronary artery diseases (CAD).There is an inverse correlation between high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and the risk of coronary artery disease. Understanding the angiographic characteristics of coronary artery diseases (CAD) in low and normal HDL-C patients and its association with severity of CAD is very important for future intervention. Although highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is well established predictor of future cardiovascular event, little information is available regarding its correlation with the prevalence and severity of angiographically evaluated coronary artery diseases (CAD). Conclusion: It may be concluded that low HDL-C level is associated with angiographically more severe coronary artery diseases reflected by vessels score and Friesinger score as compared to normal or high HDL-C level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
