Receiver operating curves of different lipid subcomponents at prognosticating long-term cardiac death after CABG. There is no difference in discriminatory ability between TC/HDL ratio, non–HDL-C, and LDL-C (AUC mean ± SD = 0.710 ± 0.056 vs 0.692 ± 0.064 vs 0.638 ± 0.070). The diagonal line represents no discriminatory power (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.5). Green line: TC/HDL-C ratio. Red line: non–HDL-C. Blue line: LDL-C. LDL-C, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; non–HDL-C, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC/HDL, total cholesterol-to-high density lipoprotein.
