In this episode, we review apolipoproteins, Lp(a), and familial dyslipidemias. What roles do apolipoproteins like ApoB48, ApoB100 and ApoA-I play in lipid transport and cardiovascular risk? Why is measuring Lp(a) in nmol/L more informative than mg/dL? Who should ApoB and Lp(a) level testing be sent on? How do conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia differ from dysbetalipoproteinemia or familial hypertriglyceridemia? Tune in for answers to these questions.
