TG indicates triglycerides; sdLDL-C, small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Primary cardiovascular events include death from cardiovascular disease, non-fatal acute coronary syndrome, non-fatal stroke, and angina pectoris. Group 1 indicates TG of <150 mg/dL and sdLDL-C of <40.0 mg/dL; group 2, TG of <150 mg/dL and sdLDL-C of ≥ 40.0 mg/dL; group 3, TG of ≥ 150 mg/dL and sdLDL-C of <40.0 mg/dL; group 4, TG of ≥ 150 mg/dL and sdLDL-C of ≥ 40.0 mg/dL.
