APOB and myocardial infarction: In 13,015 patients treated with statins in the Copenhagen Total Population Study, elevated concentrations of apolipoprotein B and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction, whereas elevated concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were not associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction (3).
