We discuss the optimal ApoB levels for minimising cardiovascular risk with Dr. Thomas Dayspring, a renowned lipidologist. ApoB, or Apolipoprotein B, is a critical protein that carries bad cholesterol in your bloodstream, and understanding your ApoB levels is key to maintaining a healthy heart.
Throughout our conversation, we explore the shortcomings of current cholesterol guidelines and make a case for a more comprehensive approach that considers your lifetime risk. We also delve into genetics' fascinating role in determining cholesterol levels and the development of atherosclerosis.
If you're wondering what ApoB levels you should be aiming for at different stages of life, and when it might be time to consider drug therapy, look no further. Dr. Dayspring also stresses the significance of maintaining healthy cholesterol levels from a young age for long-term heart health.
