Screening for CVD in order to identify high-risk individuals who may then be treated has been shown to be an effective way of alleviating the associated burden of disease. Numerous risk factors have been identified, of which lipids are […]
Lipid testing and cardiovascular risk assessment: cut-off points
Dyslipidemia is one of the major risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, which lipoproteins to measure and what cut-off points to use in order to accurately assess this risk remains debatable. by Mohamed S. Elgendy and Dr Mohamed B. Elshazly Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the US in 2011 was estimated […]
Apolipoproteins – new perspectives for lipid profiling, but other challenges remain
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the West, and dyslipidemia is considered to be one of their key risk factors. The majority of CVD cases could be prevented by effective management of dyslipidemia. The use of new biomarkers like apolipoproteins as part of extended lipid profiles may be among the […]
