Well that is a much more accurate measurement instead a broad LDL number. The LDL is incomplete because of the different types of LDLs. Of course most doctors don’t know this (mine doesn’t). It is particle size that causes problems. The smaller the LDL, the more likely it will stick to an artery wall. Statins do nothing for these because statins gobble the larger puffy benign LDL particles.
Yes...LDL Particle size IS what matters
This is true. But if you ask your doc for a particle size test as part of your blood work, they look at you like you were crazy.
