Remnant lipoproteins are atherogenic, but assays of remnants have not been available in routine clinical laboratories because of the lack of practical and validated methods. A simple and reliable method for such an assay, using an immunochemical approach, has recently been developed. This study prospectively examined whether remnant lipoprotein levels in fasting serum, measured by our method, may have prognostic value in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
