Abstract

âº The combination of hs-CRP and apoB/apoA-1 ratio outweighs its individuals. âº This combination of tests is a discriminator for elective coronary angiography. âº This combination of tests stratifies patients for oral glucose tolerance tests. âº This combination is a strong predictor for coronary artery disease and diabetes.
