This is a supplementary explanation of the original content of a recent lecture at the Korean Society for Screening Medicine. While LDL cholesterol is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, it fails to adequately reflect risk in conditions like diabetes and other dyslipidemia. As a result, patients' cardiovascular risk is often underestimated, leading to failure to initiate aggressive treatment. As an alternative, measurement of apoB, which encompasses all cholesterol levels that contribute to atherosclerosis, is increasingly recommended. Let's examine the current situation, focusing on recent research. The original manuscript can be found here. https://blog.naver.com/lipidchoys/223...
