INSIGHT

ApoB Reveals Hidden Plaque Risk

  • Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) reveals particle-driven plaque risk beyond LDL numbers.
  • Aim for ApoB below 80 mg/dL because LDL alone can hide dangerous small, dense particles.
ADVICE

Request ApoB And Know Thresholds

  • Ask your clinician to run ApoB and interpret values rather than relying on total cholesterol alone.
  • Treat ApoB over 80 as borderline, over 100 concerning, and over 130 very concerning.
INSIGHT

Same LDL Can Hide Very Different Risk

  • Two people can share the same LDL yet have very different risk due to ApoB differences.
  • ApoB distinguishes low-risk larger particles from high-risk small, dense, oxidized LDL particles.
