Lipid panel beyond LDL: ApoB, triglycerides, and risk context

LDL-C alone can miss risk. ApoB particle count, triglyceride context, and metabolic markers often explain why two people with similar LDL have different cardiovascular trajectories. Here's how to read the full lipid picture and prioritize interventions.[2]

ApoB often outperforms LDL-C for actionable risk framing.

Triglyceride context matters for metabolic and remnant risk.

Trend-based rechecks guide intervention quality better than one-off values.
