Risk of remnants and remnant risk in peripheral artery disease

Shown are potential relationships between remnant cholesterol and PAD. The current study demonstrates an association between remnant cholesterol and development of PAD, but further research examining associations between remnant cholesterol and clinical outcomes in patients with PAD is needed and can help to guide efforts to understand the therapeutic potential of targeting remnant cholesterol. ALI, acute limb ischemia; CLTI, chronic limb-threatening ischemia; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; MALE, major adverse limb events.
