Figure 4 Cholesterol Levels Versus Plaque Progression Regression

(Top) Positive relation between plaque progression, defined as change in plaque plus media cross-sectional area/year ({Delta}P&M CSA/year), versus LDL-C levels. (Bottom) Negative relation between plaque progression ({Delta}P&M CSA/year) versus HDL-C levels. Modified from von Birgelen et al. (33). CSA = cross-sectional area; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; P&M = plaque and media.
