“…However, similar results were obtained in some studies (29). However, other studies have shown that increase of low-density lipoprotein is a risk factor of severity and number of coronary arteries involvement (43). In our study cause of no relationship between hyperlipidemia and number of involved coronary artery may be use of history of hyperlipidemia based on presence or absence of diagnosed disease before admission but other studies asses' relationship between serum Lowdensity lipoprotein and cholesterol level and severity of coronary artery involvement.…”

“…This index, log(TG/ HDL), strongly correlated with FER HDL and several other risk factors for CAD (20 ). In the current study, log(TG/ HDL-C) appeared to be a better predictor of positive angiographic findings than the commonly used ratio TC/HDL-C (27,28 ).…”

Background:We examined the predictive value of various clinical and biochemical markers for angiographically defined coronary artery disease (aCAD). Specifically, we assessed the value of the ratio of plasma triglyceride ( Results: Members of the aCAD(؉) group were older and had a higher incidence of smoking and diabetes than those in the aCAD(؊) group. The aCAD(؉) group also had higher TG, apoB, FER HDL , and log(TG/HDL-C) and lower HDL-C values. aCAD(؉) women had greater waist circumference and higher plasma TC and TC/ HDL-C. aCAD(؉) men, but not women, had higher plasma LDL-C. In the multivariate logistic model, the

“…Similarly, in the cohort of 28,263 postmenopausal women undergoing a three-year follow-up in the Women's Health Study, 32 among lipid variables, various inflammation markers and homocysteine, the only independent predictors of risk for a cardiovascular event were C-reactive protein and the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio. Other studies 33,34 have shown the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio to be the lipid parameter with the greatest predictive power with regard to the presence, severity and extension of coronary atherosclerosis in women.…”

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration has been the prime index of cardiovascular disease risk and the main target for therapy. However, several lipoprotein ratios or "atherogenic indices" have been defined in an attempt to optimize the predictive capacity of the lipid profile. In this review, we summarize their pathophysiological aspects, and highlight the rationale for using these lipoprotein ratios as cardiovascular risk factors in clinical practice, specifying their cut-off risk levels and a target for lipid-lowering therapy. Total/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and LDL/HDL cholesterol ratios are risk indicators with greater predictive value than isolated parameters used independently, particularly LDL. Future recommendations regarding the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemia, including instruments for calculating cardiovascular risk or action guidelines, should include the lipoprotein ratios with greater predictive power which, in view of the evidence-based results, are none other than those which include HDL cholesterol.
