The Impact of LDL Particle Size on Cardiovascular Health

This chapter explores the impact of particle size of LDL cholesterol on cardiovascular health, discussing evidence from studies on statins and patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. It delves into the differences between small dense and large buoyant LDL particles, highlighting the pathogenicity of small dense LDL due to its ability to penetrate arterial walls and increased oxidation compared to large buoyant LDL.
