Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are linked to the occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD), especially when factoring in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and glucose status.
- It analyzed data from over 1.5 million individuals without previous CAD for the years 2008-2019, using Cox proportional hazards modeling to assess the risk of CAD based on different cholesterol and glucose levels.
- The findings revealed that lower LDL-C levels combined with low HDL-C levels increased the risk of developing CAD significantly, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies targeting LDL-C according to a patient's HDL-C levels and glucose tolerance.
