Elevated resting heart rate is associated with the severity of coronary artery disease in non-treated patients who underwent coronary angiography: potential role of lipoprotein subfractions

Objective: To assess the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and lipoprotein subfractions to provide potential evidence for the relationship between RHR and severity of CAD.Methods: A total of 1119 consecutive non-treated subjects scheduled for coronary angiography were enrolled. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) separation were performed by Lipoprint System. The link of RHR with lipoprotein subfractions...
