Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) What is ApoB? Apolipoprotein B, or ApoB for short, is a protein that can be measured along with your usual lipid panel test to determine the possibility of cardiovascular risk....

Recent research suggests that more people should be screened for a protein called apoB. A growing number of doctors agree.

ApoB concentration = VLDL-P + IDL-P + LDL-P. Graphs show the relative concentrations of VLDL-P, IDL-P and LDL-P in insulin sensitive, insulin resistant and T2D pts. As far as particle # is concern VLDLs and IDLs contribute little to apoB. ApoB = LDL-P & apoB tells you nothing about VLDL and IDLs

“Comparing LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and apoB, the study found that using apoB to guide treatment decisions would prevent more heart attacks and strokes than current approaches, while remaining cost-effective.”
There’s a more accurate way of measuring who’s at risk for cholesterol-related health issues. So why don’t more doctors use it?

Basit kan testi kalp hastalığı riskini daha iyi öngörebilirmiş.
ApoB'nin kalp hastalığı riskini belirlemede en iyi belirteç olduğunu tespit etmişler. ApoB ölçülen toplam "kötü kolesterol partikülleri" sayısını gösterdiğinden, geleneksel kolesterol ölçümlerinden daha doğru bir test sağlıyormuş.

Sigh. This study claiming a lack of association between ApoB & plaque has blown up in the media with the typical podcaster/youtuber grifters jumping on it. Beyond the obvious (small N, non-randomized), here are a few reasons the study doesn't show what people claim 🧵:

I had my apoB tested 2 years ago and it was great.
The more I read the more convinced I am I just have 1 stupid artery

Rarely used cholesterol test may prevent more strokes, heart attacks
A new study adds to growing research that apoB testing may be more effective for guiding cholesterol treatment than the current guidelines, and also highlights the cost-effectiveness of the test.

To help master apolipoprotein B, please obtain the very recent NLA Statement on apoB as well as these earlier statements to see how long the experts (clinicians and laboratorians) knew apoB was the critical metric. Anyone practicing CV care should be very familiar with these documents.
