LDL-C is the number we’ve all been trained to chase. But what if the real culprit isn’t the cholesterol itself… but the number of particles carrying it?
Meet ApoB — the quiet truth-teller of lipidology.
It doesn’t care how perfect your LDL number looks. It counts every atherogenic particle capable of injuring the arterial wall — the true measure of risk hiding beneath the surface.
In this episode of LipidCurious, we’ll dig into what makes ApoB the stronger, sharper, and more honest marker of atherogenic burden:
1. Why ApoB is a better measure of atherogenic burden
2. How ApoB drives atherosclerosis
3. How ApoB fits into clinical practice
We’ll also explore practical takeaways — when to order ApoB, what cutoffs to use, and how to apply it when your LDL and ApoB numbers don’t agree.
By the end, you’ll see why every atherogenic particle counts — and why ApoB just might be the number that finally tells the truth about cardiovascular risk.
