![]() ![]() LDL-C/HDL-C in the TCFA group was significantly higher than in the non-TCFA group (2.95 ± 1.20 vs. Results OCT was performed in 421 patients (TCFA group ( n = 109), non-TCFA group ( n = 312)). To compare different ratios, the area under curve (AUC) of receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were carried out to explore the relationship between lipoprotein ratios, TCFA and other characteristics of plaque. The thinnest-capped fibroatheroma (TCFA) group was defined as lipid contents in > 2 quadrants, with the thinnest fibrous cap measuring less than 65 μm. In total, we recruited 421 patients (82.4% men mean age 65.73 ± 10.44 years) with one culprit vessel which determined by intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods It was a single center, retrospective observational study. Background The correlation among the ratios of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/ HDL-C), total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) and thin-cap fibroatheroma has not yet been established.
