Comparison of four methods of analysis of lipoprotein particle subfractions for their association with angiographic progression of coronary artery disease

Background Compare gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE), vertical auto profile ultracentrifugation (VAP-II), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and ion mobility for their ability to relate low- (LDL), intermediate- (IDL), very-low-density (VLDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfraction concentrations to atherosclerotic progression. Methods and results Regression analyses of 136 patients who received baseline and follow-up...
