Background: Remnant cholesterol (RC) is an emerging factor contributing to residual risk for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We aimed to investigate the association of RC with ASCVD in high ASCVD risk patients. Methods: RC was calculated in 906 participants (178 low/moderate-risk and 728 high-risk) consecutively recruited from a vascular registry. Subclinical carotid atherosclerosis was assessed by B-mode carotid ultrasonography. Maximal carotid wall thickness (maxWT) and carotid atherosclerotic burden (n ≥ 2 atherosclerotic plaques) were set as the vascular outcomes. An independent cohort of 87 consecutively recruited high-risk patients who were followed for their lipid profile for 3 months was also analyzed. Results: RC was increased in the high-risk group as compared to controls (26 ± 17 vs. 21 ± 11 mg/dl, respectively, p |
