Background-Markers of systemic inflammation and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) have been considered independent risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined whether alterations of LDL metabolism not reflected by LDL-C were associated with low-grade inflammation, vascular injury, and CAD.Methods and Results-We studied 739 subjects with stable angiographic CAD and 570 matched control subjects in which CAD had been ruled out by angiography. The association of LDL triglycerides (LDL-TGs) (odds ratio [OR], 1.30; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.43; P
