Implication

LDL-apoB should not supplant LDL-C for normolipidemic CHD risk assessment; leaves open enhanced utility in hypertriglyceridemia.

Structured PICO

Population

273 men divided into 7 groups: 72 with normolipidemia (NLP) and clinical CHD, 34 NLP with angiographic CAD (>50% occlusion of 2 or 3 arteries), 37 with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and clinical CHD, 25 with HTG and angiographic CAD, 30 healthy young men, 40 healthy middle-aged men, and 35 hypertensive men.

Outcome

Levels of LDL-C and LDL-apoB, and their ratiosurrogate

LDL-apoB may not be a better indicator of coronary risk than LDL-C in normolipidemic individuals, but it could be a superior predictor of risk in patients with hypertriglyceridemia.
