Article Synopsis
- Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a condition involving the dilation of coronary arteries, often without symptoms, and its causes are not well understood.
- A study analyzed 679 patients who underwent coronary angiography, finding that 38.3% were diagnosed with CAE, and those with CAE had higher remnant cholesterol (RC) levels.
- The research concluded that higher RC levels are significantly associated with an increased risk of CAE, suggesting that monitoring RC could aid in understanding and potentially treating CAE.
