Figure 1. — Relative impact of inflammation and cholesterol as independent determinants of risk for cardiovascular death. Increasing quartiles of inflammatory risk (as assessed by hsCRP; left) and increasing quartiles of cholesterol risk (as assessed by LDLC; right) as predictors of cardiovascular death among 13 970 statin-intolerant patients. Hazard ratios and 95% CIs adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, region, diabetes, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood pressure, alcohol use, smoking status, known atherosclerotic disease, and randomized treatment assignment. hsCRP indicates high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; and LDLC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
