| Abstract: | Pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD)
is multi-factorial and many risk factors are associated with development of
CAD. LDL-C has been an important target for therapeutic interventions and has
been extensively studied. But, various studies have indicated that estimation
of LDL-C is not enough to assess the risk. Moreover, LDL particles vary in
their content, density and size which have different physico-chemical
properties. In this paper, the role of small dense (sd) LDL in risk assessment
for CAD and its response to different therapeutic modalities available have
been reviewed. |
