Remnant cholesterol

Remnant cholesterol, also known as remnant lipoprotein, is a very atherogenic lipoprotein composed primarily of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (ILD).[1] Stated another way, remnant cholesterol is all plasma cholesterol that is not LDL cholesterol or HDL cholesterol.[1]

According to one study, high remnant cholesterol is more predictive of myocardial infarction than any other lipid particle.[2] Remnant cholesterol is especially predictive of coronary artery disease in patients with normal total cholesterol.[3][4]

High plasma remnant cholesterol is associated with increased plasma triglyceride levels.[5] Hypertriglyceridemia is characteristic of high plasma remnant cholesterol, but persons with high plasma triglycerides without high remnant cholesterol rarely have coronary artery disease.[6]

Remnant cholesterol has about twice the association with ischemic heart disease as LDL cholesterol.[7] Remnant cholesterol is associated with chronic inflammation, whereas LDL cholesterol is not.[8] Remnant cholesterol induces endothelial dysfunction through oxidative stress.[9]
