Apo-B/apo-AI ratio: a better discriminator of coronary artery disease risk than other conventional lipid ratios in Indian patients with acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

Our findings suggest that the apo-B/apo-AI ratio is a better discriminator of CAD risk in the atherosclerosis-prone Indian population, than any of the conventional lipid ratios. The reduction of value of the apo-B/apo-AI ratio may drastically decrease the risk for CAD. Hence, the apo-B/apo-AI ratio may be suggested as an alternative to other lipid ratios fo risk assessment in patients with CAD.
