Cholesterol mass efflux capacity and risk of peripheral artery disease: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
PK Garg, NW Jorgensen, RL McClelland, M Allison… - Atherosclerosis, 2020 - Elsevier
Background and aims We aimed to assess the relationship of HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-
mediated cholesterol mass efflux capacity (CMEC) with risk of incident peripheral artery
disease (PAD). Methods CMEC was measured in 1458 Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
participants between 2000 and 2002 as part of a case-control study matched for incident
cardiovascular disease and progression of carotid plaque by ultrasound. Incident clinical
PAD, adjudicated on the basis of a positive history for the presence of disease-related …
