Risk for coronary artery disease among individuals with normal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels

Individuals with 'normal' LDL-C levels can have substantial CAD risk if they carry high genetic risk. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating genetic information into CAD risk assessment, even among those with traditionally normal lipid profiles.

Abstract

Individuals with 'normal' LDL-C levels can have substantial CAD risk if they carry high genetic risk. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating genetic information into CAD risk assessment, even among those with traditionally normal lipid profiles.
