Beyond LDL: Why ApoB and Lp(a) Are Changing Heart Disease Prevention

LDL (“bad cholesterol”) has been the focus of heart disease prevention for decades—but it doesn’t always tell the whole story. In this video, Dr. Osman, a cardiology fellow, explains two powerful but underused blood markers: Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)].
You’ll learn:
Why ApoB can be a better indicator of risk than LDL alone
How Lp(a) reveals hidden, genetic risk for heart disease and stroke
Who might benefit from testing
How these numbers fit into a broader, precision-prevention strategy with your own clinician
