Key result
Elevated cumulative remnant cholesterol in the highest quartile significantly increased the risk of ischemic heart disease by 69% compared to the lowest quartile (HR 1.69).
Why the study?
While baseline remnant cholesterol correlates with ischemic heart disease, the enduring impact of cumulative remnant cholesterol on incident ischemic heart disease remains unclear.
Does elevated cumulative remnant cholesterol increase the risk of ischemic heart disease in a general adult population?

Hazard Ratio: 1.69 (95% CI 1.42–2.01)
p-value: p=<0.0001
Elevated cumulative remnant cholesterol is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease, suggesting that long-term monitoring and management of remnant cholesterol may improve ASCVD prevention.

cumRC exposure linked to higher IHD risk; extends baseline RC data but leaves open causality and intervention effects.
Wang et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Ischemic heart disease (n=42,639). Cumulative remnant cholesterol (cumRC) vs. Lowest quartile of cumRC (Q1: <2.69 mmol/l) was evaluated on Incident ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction and coronary artery revascularization) (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.42-2.01, p=<0.0001). Elevated cumulative remnant cholesterol in the highest quartile significantly increased the risk of ischemic heart disease by 69% compared to the lowest quartile (HR 1.69).
