Elevated remnant cholesterol in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in diabetes: A population-based prospective cohort study

Background and Aims: Elevated remnant cholesterol is causally associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in the general population. We tested the hypothesis that elevated remnant cholesterol is associated with increased risk of peripheral artery disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and any ASCVD in individuals with diabetes.
