SdLDL‑C/LDL‑C discordance as a practical surrogate for triglyceride‑associated cardiovascular risk: identification of at‑risk lipid phenotypes in the CHARLS prospective cohort.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Discordance between small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is common. Whether this easily calculated parameter, derived from routine lipid profiles using the triglyceride (TG)-dependent Sampson equation, can serve as a practical surrogate for TG-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and improve risk stratification remains...
