Nonfasting triglyceride levels independently associated with incident cardiovascular events
Fasting triglyceride levels show little independent association.
The importance of triglycerides in cardiovascular risk is controversial. Triglycerides are typically determined in the fasting state, yet postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia may play an important role in atherosclerosis. This study sought to determine the association of fasting versus nonfasting triglyceride levels and risk of future cardiovascular events.
