Apoprotein B, Small‐Dense LDL and Impaired HDL Remodeling Is Associated With Larger Plaque Burden and More Noncalcified Plaque as Assessed by Coronary CT Angiography and Intravascular Ultrasound With Radiofrequency Backscatter: Results From the ATLANTA I Study

Abstract

ApoB and small HDL particles are associated with larger plaque burden and more noncalcified plaque, whereas larger HDL and pre-β2-HDL particles are associated with plaque burden and less noncalcified plaque by both CTA and IVUS/VH.
