Why the study?
Is remnant cholesterol associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes?
Is remnant cholesterol associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes?
Remnant cholesterol serves as an independent residual risk factor for cardiovascular disease in East Asian patients with type 2 diabetes.
May flag residual CVD risk in T2D beyond LDL-C; extends observational data to Korean patients but remains hypothesis-generating.
In Korean patients with T2D, remnant-C was associated with CVD, independent of the LDL-C level or other conventional CVD risk factors. Our finding confirmed evidence of the causal role of remnant-C on CVD, as a residual risk of CVD, in East Asian patients with T2D.
