Table 3: Lipid profiles of the CAD patients before and by 24 hours after angioplasty.

Biomarkers Before After p-value
TC 160 (148-193) 155 (122-172) 0.0038
HDL-c 41 (30-49) 33 (32-42) 0.0192
LDL-c 109 (90-153) 125 (85-158) NS
TG 120 (94-223) 110 (96-179) NS
apo-A 159 (133-169) 143 (115-150) <0.05
apo-B 98 (91-114) 97 (81-116) NS

Values are shown as median and interquartile range (mg/dL). Paired t-tests; p<0.05. TC: total cholesterol; HDL-c: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-c: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides; apo-A: apolipoprotein-A; apo-B: apolipoprotein-B; NS: not significant. Only apo-B showed non-parametric distribution.
