my Apo B is 100 mg/dl. This is OK. My Apo A1 is 137 mg/dl. Should be>115. Ratio Apo B/Apo A1=0.73. Should be <0.77. My Lipoprotein (a) is 104 mmol/L (roughly 48 mg/dL). This is also OK. My Trigly~60, LDL-125, HDL - 50
All look good. Apo B is a new & a better marker than LDL according to https://www.tctmd.com/news/apob-gains-ground-best-lipid-predictor-mi-risk
Now this is the issue. My LDL p (# of particles) is 1750 and this is a kind of high (ideally <1250). Why such glaring difference?
Most cardiologists say Apo B is the ultimate marker. If that is the case, do I neglect the high LDL particle number?
