More Details: Abstract Background We investigated the role of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 in atherosclerosis development and determined whether plasma concentrations of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 are related to the degree of coronary stenosis. Methods A total of 305 consecutive patients with angina who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were enrolled in the study between August 2017 and August 2018. The levels of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 were measured by using competitive ELISA kits. Results According to the degree of coronary artery stenosis, patients were classified into four types: coronary artery stenosis of 75%. The plasma ANGPTL3 level was higher (51.71 ± 52.67 vs. 24.65 ± 10.32 ng/mL, P
