Serum Total and Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and the Risk Prediction of Cardiovascular Events - The JALS-ECC -

Abstract

The risk of AMI can be more reliably predicted by serum non-HDL cholesterol than serum total cholesterol. The scoring systems are useful tools to predict risk of AMI. Neither total nor non-HDL serum cholesterol can predict stroke risk in the Japanese general population.
