Retrospective study reveals elevated remnant cholesterol is linked to atherosclerosis risk in multiple vascular territories, suggesting clinical assessment improvements.
Key Points
Elevated remnant cholesterol is associated with increased atherosclerotic plaques in single and multiple vascular territories.
Participants in higher quartiles of remnant cholesterol showed a progressive increase in plaque numbers across vascular territories.
Multivariate ordinal Logistic regression demonstrated a 1.015-fold increased risk of plaque in multiple territories with higher remnant cholesterol levels.
Analysis indicates significant associations of LDL-C/RC coordination with multiple vascular territory involvement in atherosclerotic progression.
