Association of low-density lipoprotein particle size and ratio of different lipoproteins and apolipoproteins with coronary heart disease

摘要

Background: Worldwide coronary heart disease (CHD) is estimated to be the leading cause of death. Current knowledge about prevention of CHD is mainly derived from developed countries. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the association of CHD with ratios of different lipoproteins and apolipoproteins, LDL particle size, as well as different traditional risk factors in Asian Indian population in Eastern part of India.
