Heart failure etiology and lipoprotein subfractions: Insight from the SMARTEX-HF study
NICM patients had the highest atherosclerotic lipoprotein burden, attributed to elevated ApoB particles and partly due to less statin treatment. The triglyceride content of some VLDL and LDL subfractions was weakly associated with left ventricular structure and function. However, further research is needed to determine their prognostic significance before implementation into strategies for prevention and treatment.<b>Trail Registration</b>: ClinicalTrial.gov database (NCT00917046).
