Residual cardiovascular risk beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol: inflammation, remnant cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a)

Key Points

• The study evaluates residual cardiovascular risk factors beyond LDL cholesterol.
• Evaluated inflammation, remnant cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a) levels among high-risk individuals.
• Analyzed the interactions and implications of these factors on cardiovascular health.
• Higher levels of inflammation correlate with increased cardiovascular risk.
• Remnant cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) significantly contribute to risk beyond LDL cholesterol.
