CAD, coronary artery disease; Non CAD, healthy controls; HDL, high density lipoprotein; LDL, low density Lipoprotein; hs-CRP, Highly sensitive- C-reactive Protein. Continuous variables are reported as mean ± standard deviation. Significant differences are represented as bold font (p<0.05) and differences between groups represented as % for Non CAD low HDL vs. Non CAD high HDL; @ for Non CAD low HDL vs. CAD high HDL; * for CAD low HDL vs. Non CAD high HDL; # for CAD low HDL vs. CAD high HDL
