Abstract

Coronary Artery Disease burden is alarmingly high and is a purpose of challenge. There are many correctable danger factors for CAD. Of these dyslipidemia has the highest danger for myocardial infarction. Of all the lipoproteins, LDL plays a relevant role in CAD.  Reduction of LDL-C results in widespread decrease in CAD incidence. However, there are several other atherogenic lipoproteins in the blood like LDL cholesterol-enriched remnants of TG – rich lipoproteins, VLDL, IDL and LDL which accounts for 25%. These are the NON-HDL - C leading to increase in CAD incidence. This study emphasis the importance of non HDL-C in predicting CAD.

Key Words: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), NON-HDL-Cholesterol.
