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 angiographic progression was defined as an annual change rate of the Gensini score of > 1 point. The predictive efficacy of baseline apoB levels for angiographic progression was assessed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. For comparative purposes, patients were categorized into three groups according to their ba
