  • CYS, cholesterol–years score; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; Lp(a), lipoprotein(a); TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; Vmax, maximum transaortic velocity.

  • 5-150 After logarithmic transformation.

  • (d), at initial diagnosis; (e), at the time of echocardiography.
