LDL-C and non-HDL-C do not fully capture coronary heart disease (CHD) risk attributed to all apoB-containing lipoproteins. Use of apolipoprotein B (apoB) as a marker of total atherogenic particle number improves risk prediction, but risk may still be underestimated when triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL/remnants) and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are elevated. The aim was to formulate a new metric—risk-weighted apoB (RW-apoB)designed to capture risk from LDL, TRL/remnants, and Lp(a) in a single number.
