Remnant Cholesterol Predicts Risk of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Myocardial Infarction With Nonobstructive Coronary Arteries.

ABSTRACT: Background Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been reported to promote atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Yet little is known regarding the RC-related residual risk in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) with nonobstructive coronary arteries. Methods and Results A total of 1179 patients with MI with nonobstructive coronary arteries were enrolled and divided according to median level of RC calculated as non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol minus low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The primary end point was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause death, nonfatal MI, stroke, revascularization, and hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure. Kaplan-Meier, Cox regression, and receiver-operating characteristic analyses were used. Patient
