*The optimal cut-off value for hsCRP test determined by ROC analysis in our study. #A lower limit for the high risk category according the CDC and AHA statement on markers of inflammation and cardiovascular disease [6]. ACS: acute coronary syndrome; AHA: the American Heart Association; apoB : apoA-I: apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A-I ratio; CDC: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; CRP: C-reactive protein; LDL-C : HDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio; TC : HDL-C: total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio; TG : HDL-C: triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. |
