ESC Cardio Talk

Allan Sniderman, a cardiologist and professor at McGill University, dives into the importance of ApoB and Lp(a) for cardiovascular risk assessment. He challenges traditional views on VLDL versus LDL atherogenicity, revealing that VLDL may pose greater risks than previously thought. Sniderman discusses a comprehensive study involving over 200,000 participants, elaborating on how examining particle numbers can change risk interpretations. He advocates for measuring ApoB and Lp(a) to enhance clinical insights and streamline patient care.
