Discordance Between Apolipoprotein B and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification in Middle Age.
CONCLUSIONS: Discordant analysis showed that a high apoB level was strongly associated with prevalence and progression of CAC independent of LDL-C in a large cohort of healthy adults. The present study results highlighted the importance of an apoB measure as a potential target for primary prevention of coronary atherosclerosis in healthy adults.
