Concordance‐discordance between apolipoprotein B and lipid biomarkers in predicting 20‐year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk: The ATTICA study (2002–2022)

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A strong correlation exists between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and apolipoprotein B100 (apoB). However, evidence suggests that LDL-C and non-HDL-C may underestimate apoB, potentially obscuring residual cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, interactions between apoB and lipoprotein(a) are implicated in atherogenesis. This study sought...
