Apolipoprotein B is associated with CT-angiographic progression beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with coronary artery disease
Abstract:Background
Accumulating evidence indicated that apolipoprotein B (apoB) was the principal lipid determinant of coronary artery disease (CAD). Nevertheless, the connection between apoB and angiographic progression of CAD remained undetermined.
Methods
Five hundred and forty-four CAD patients with twice coronary computed tomography angiography experiences were enrolled. The Gensini scoring system was used to assess angiographic progression. Incident … Show more
