Title: The relationship between the plasma lipids and the severity of coronary artery lesions
Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between the lipid parameters of plasma and the severity of coronary artery lesions. Methods A total of 220 admitted patients were studied retrospectively, all patients were suspected to have coronary artery disease and underwent a selective coronary angiography and a survey of lipid parameters of plasma during the hospitalization. Results The plasma apoB, non-HDL-C and TG levels were significantly higher in patients with positive coronary angiography than those with negative results. The spearman correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis showed a significant correlation between Lp(a) level and the severity of the coronary artery lesions, between apoB level and the number of involved vessels. Conclusions ApoB and Lp(a) level may be the most correlated factor with the development and progression of cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease.
