ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio
The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio compares the number of atherogenic particles (ApoB) with the number of HDL particles (ApoA1) and strongly predicts cardiovascular events. In studies like INTERHEART, this ratio outperformed standard lipid panels for predicting heart attack risk worldwide. Targets vary with risk, with values near 0.7 or lower generally considered favorable.

What is ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio?
The ApoB/ApoA1 ratio compares the number of atherogenic particles (ApoB) with the number of HDL particles (ApoA1) and strongly predicts cardiovascular events. In studies like INTERHEART, this ratio outperformed standard lipid panels for predicting heart attack risk worldwide. Targets vary with risk, with values near 0.7 or lower generally considered favorable.
Why It Matters
ApoB is found on atherogenic particles;ApoA1 on protective HDL. This ratio reflects the balance between harmful and protective lipoproteins. A strong predictor of cardiovascular risk, especially in metabolic syndrome.
