ApoB Test May Outperform Standard Cholesterol Screening | Health and Fitness News
Description
New research from Northwestern University challenges the reliability of the standard cholesterol test, revealing that a newer measure called apoB — which counts harmful cholesterol particles — could be far more effective at predicting heart attacks and strokes. The study found that using apoB to guide treatment not only prevents more cardiovascular events but also delivers better value for healthcare systems. As medical guidelines push for earlier, more aggressive interventions, apoB offers a clearer, more accurate way to identify who truly needs treatment — potentially saving millions of lives and reshaping how we approach heart health.
