Li G, et al. - Researchers analyzed small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C), cholesterol ratios and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), which were feasible indicators in order to predict the progression of arterial stiffness in normotensive individuals. They founded that in normotensive subjects, sdLDL-C and triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio could independently predict arterial stiffness progression. High-level sdLDL-C and TG/HDL-C ratio were associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness.
