Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and the progression of coronary artery disease

Curr Opin Lipidol. 1995 Aug;6(4):209-14. doi: 10.1097/00041433-199508000-00004.

Abstract

A growing body of evidence from serial coronary angiographic studies indicates that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are an important factor in the progression of coronary artery disease. Compelling evidence also suggests that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be most important in the progression of mild-moderate lesions, the very lesions that are likely to be responsible for clinical coronary events.
