Then the 9 variables were taken into the stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis and Lp(a) (P = 0.035) and apoB/apoAI (P < 0.001) were found to be independently associated with the Gensini scores after controlling for the confounding variables including hypertension, TC, LDL-C, apoAI, apoB, TC/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C. Here, APOB is linked to Hypertension.
