Figure 1 Comparison of anti-Ox-LDL titer among the patient groups of control, single-vessel CAD and multivessel CAD. The titer was higher in the multivessel CAD group than in controls. No significant difference was seen between the single-vessel CAD group and the controls, or between the multivessel CAD group and the single-vessel CAD group. Anti-Ox-LDL = antibodies against oxidized low density lipoprotein; CAD = coronary artery disease; NS = not significant.

Figure 2 Comparison of anti-Ox-LDL titer among the patients with stable-effort angina or OMI, unstable angina, and AMI. The titer was higher in patients with unstable angina or AMI than in patients with stable-effort angina or OMI. AMI = acute myocardial infarction; anti-Ox-LDL = antibodies against oxidized low density lipoprotein; AP = angina pectoris; OMI = old myocardial infarction.
