Relationship between carotid artery intima-media thickness and small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations measured by homogenous assay in Japanese subjects

When measured by a homogenous assay, carotid artery IMT may have a closer relationship with sdLDL-C concentrations than other lipid parameters in Japanese subjects. sdLDL-C may be a potentially useful risk marker when assessing carotid artery IMT in Japanese subjects.
