For a thorough discussion of how critically important lipoprotein compostion is in impacting apoB and LDL-P. This is the critical pathophysiology not being taught! Did you know LDL-TG outpredicts LDL-C as a risk factor? Why? Here is the study no one has ever read. The Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health Study. Conclusions: Alterations of LDL metabolism characterized by high LDL-TG are related to CAD, systemic low-grade inflammation, and vascular damage. High LDL-TGs are indicative of CE-depleted LDL, elevated IDL, and dense LDL. LDL-TG may better reflect the atherogenic potential of LDL than LDL-C. (Circulation. 2004;110:3068-3074.)
