What is Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)?

ApoB is the primary protein on LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a) particles. Since each atherogenic particle has exactly one ApoB molecule, this test directly counts the number of particles that can enter artery walls.

Why Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Matters

Many cardiologists consider ApoB the single best predictor of cardiovascular risk—better than LDL-C. It captures all atherogenic particles in one number. Some people with 'normal' LDL-C have high ApoB, putting them at higher risk than standard tests reveal.
