title: Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and the progression of coronary artery disease.
abstract: A growing body of evidence from serial coronary angiographic studies indicates that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are an important factor in the progression of coronary artery disease. Compelling evidence also suggests that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be most important in the progression of mild-moderate lesions, the very lesions that are likely to be responsible for clinical coronary events.
