Association of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio with total coronary plaque burden in patients with coronary artery disease
Background:
Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is involved in all stages of coronary atherosclerosis and related to coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the correlation between LMR and the coronary plaque burden of CAD is not clearly elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate their correlation in patients with CAD.
Methods:
A total of 1953 consecutive eligible inpatients with suspected CAD were retrospectively included in this study. They were assigned into CAD (n = 564) and non-CAD groups (n = 1389). All patients underwent coronary computed tomographic angiography to evaluate coronary stenosis and coro...

Cholesterol efflux capacity in coronary artery disease: a meta-analysis
Objective
To quantitatively analyze the association between cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and the risk and prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods
A systematic search of electronic databases for studies published until September 2019 was performed. Cohorts, case-control studies, and randomized controlled trials that examined the effect of CEC on the risk and prognosis of CAD were included.
Results
Eighteen studies with 12 685 subjects met our inclusion criteria. Among them, 14 studies reported the CEC in non-CAD and CAD groups, and eight studies reported the association between CEC and risk of CAD...
