flag New study finds blood test for apoB proteins better predicts heart disease risk than cholesterol tests.

flag A new study suggests that measuring apolipoprotein B (apoB) proteins in the blood could more accurately predict heart disease risk compared to standard cholesterol tests. flag Analyzing blood samples from over 207,000 UK participants with no history of heart disease, researchers found that apoB, which indicates the total number of "bad cholesterol" particles, is a better risk marker. flag This more accurate test could potentially save lives and is already commercially available and easy to implement.
