Which Lipoprotein Measurements Are Clinically Useful?
Abstract
Emerging lipid risk factors for cardiovascular disease include lipoprotein remnants, lipoprotein (a), small LDL particles, HDL subspecies, apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein A-I, and oxidized LDL. Measurement of these levels should not be used for routine cardiovascular risk screening. (Strength of Recommendation [SOR]: C, based on expert opinion and lack of clinical outcomes trials)
