Abstract:AimsApolipoproteins have been reported to be involved in many cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic value of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) to apolipoprotein A‐I (ApoA‐I) ratio (ApoB/ApoA‐I) in patients with heart failure (HF).Methods and resultsWe randomly assigned 2400 HF patients into the training cohort (n = 1400) and the validation cohort (n = 1000). Using a receiver operating characteristic curve, we identified the optimal cut‐off value of the ApoB/ApoA‐I in the trainin… Show more
