High level of apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is associated with incident coronary artery disease (CAD) when low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level or non–high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C) is low. However, data on the relationship of Apo B with coronary atherosclerosis plaques burden are limited. The present study aimed to estimate associations between Apo B with the presence and burden of coronary atherosclerosis plaques.
Multivariate binary logistic regression and multivariate ordinal logistic regression. Discordance analysis defining based on residuals and medians.
Discordantly high Apo B with LDL-C and non-HDL-C were associated with an increased odds of the coronary atherosclerotic plaques and its burden. These findings highlighted the importance of Apo B for primary prevention of coronary atherosclerosis.
