Background:We examined the predictive value of various clinical and biochemical markers for angiographically defined coronary artery disease (aCAD). Specifically, we assessed the value of the ratio of plasma triglyceride ( Results: Members of the aCAD(؉) group were older and had a higher incidence of smoking and diabetes than those in the aCAD(؊) group. The aCAD(؉) group also had higher TG, apoB, FER HDL , and log(TG/HDL-C) and lower HDL-C values. aCAD(؉) women had greater waist circumference and higher plasma TC and TC/ HDL-C. aCAD(؉) men, but not women, had higher plasma LDL-C. In the multivariate logistic model, the
