Please go over to the Lipid Geeks group under Groups URL and see my comments on a very inetersting case entitled "A case report of a diabetic woman with very low HDL-C."  You will learn something about HDL mapping but you will not miss the forest through the trees.

There is a new posting at my Lipid Geeks group: read the case and see if you would prescribe a statin or not to a patient with a normal LDL-P. Please feel free to post comments.

Go over to the Groups Section and click on Lipidaholics and check out the new  case discussion which illustrates some very important concepts, specifically understanding the core composition of LDL particles.

Interesting case discussion where a rising LDL-C in a diabetic is of no concern. Go over to the Lipdaholics Groups page to see the case and add comments

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.)   Go over to my Lipid Geeks group and learn why particle compositon not particle size rules!
