A new index (CHOLINDEX) in detecting coronary artery disease risk

Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk increases with the elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and low level high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, the magnitude at which CAD risk increases with every lipid parameter is controversial. We deve...

Zusammenfassung:	Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk increases with the elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and low level high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, the magnitude at which CAD risk increases with every lipid parameter is controversial. We developed a new index called CHOLINDEX, in order to evaluate CAD risk, and investigated its reliability. Three hundred and seven patients (190 males and 117 females, aged between 26-80 years, mean 53.6 ± 10.2 years) who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were included in the study. Risk factors and lipid profiles of all patients were noted. CHOLINDEX was calculated by using a formula as follows: CHOLINDEX=LDL-C-HDL-C (TG
