A Po B Is a Better Predictor of Risk in Lypoproteins

An apo b number is a better predictor of risk than, say, dal clestral or an l dal particle number. The reason why the a po b is particularly important is if you have wegh more of these athogenic lype proteins in circulation, there's an increased likelihood of them getting into that arterial wall. And then depositing that callestral, which is still having this negative effect. A quarter of people may have discordance between theyre kind of like measured l d l, clestral and actually the particles that are atherogenic in the circulation. In those individuals, certainly a direct measure of apobe is going to more accurately quantify their
