High HDL-C levels reduce the risk of obstructive coronary artery disease in asymptomatic diabetics who achieved optimal glycemic control

The benefit of a high level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) against coronary atherosclerosis risk after achieving optimal glycemic control (OGC) in diabetics remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the association between HDL-C and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) according...

Zusammenfassung:The benefit of a high level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) against coronary atherosclerosis risk after achieving optimal glycemic control (OGC) in diabetics remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the association between HDL-C and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) according to OGC status in diabetics. We analyzed 1,114 asymptomatic diabetics who underwent coronary computed tomographic angiography in a health examination. OGC was defined as hemoglobin A1C
