ApoB

Measures the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles in your blood — one per LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a) particle.

Optimal Range

< 80 mg/dL (optimal) · < 60 mg/dL (aggressive)

Why It Matters

ApoB is considered by many cardiologists to be the single best predictor of cardiovascular risk — superior to LDL-C. Each particle can penetrate and deposit cholesterol in arterial walls, driving atherosclerosis.
