When I look at a patient’s blood panel for the first time, my eyes immediately dart to two numbers: Apolipoprotein-B (apoB) and Lp(a). I look at the other numbers, too, but these two tell me the most when it comes to predicting their risk of ASCVD [atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease]. ApoB not only tells me the concentration of LDL particles (which, you’ll recall, is more predictive of disease than the concentration of cholesterol found within LDL particles, LDL-C), but it also captures the concentration of VLDL particles, which as members of the apoB family can also contribute to atherosclerosis. Furthermore, even someone whose apoB is low can still have a dangerously elevated Lp(a). - Outlive
