Prognostic Value of the Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio for Cardiovascular Events in Statin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes With Diabetic Retinopathy Without Prior Cardiovascular Disease

An L/H ratio ≥2.0 identifies increased cardiovascular risk in statin-treated T2D patients with diabetic retinopathy and hypercholesterolemia without prior cardiovascular disease. Serial L/H ratio assessment may aid risk stratification in this high-risk population.
