A Novel Index of Assessing Atherosclerosis Regression and Plaque Stabilization
UC San Diego researchers have invented a novel index of atherosclerosis regression that is determined by measuring the plasma content of oxidized phospholipids. The index could provide valuable information to physicians who would use this index to measure the efficacy of treatment with statins or new anti-atherogenic drugs.

Title: Methods for assessing atherogenesis by determining oxidized phospholipid to apolipoprotein B ratios
Usefulness: Methods for assessing atherogenesis by determining oxidized phospholipid to apolipoprotein B ratios
Summary: The method is useful for determining whether therapy is effective for treating coronary artery disease (claimed).
Novelty: Determining whether therapy is effective for treating coronary artery disease, by determining oxidized phospholipid and apoB levels in samples obtained before and after administration of therapy, and calculating atherogenesis index
