disease (CVD). In this study, LDL-P was shown to be a more sensitive indicator of low CVD risk than LDL-C or non-HDL-C, another potential treatment target. The study reinforces the limitations of LDL cholesterol and the importance of managing patients to acceptably low levels of LDL-P to avoid CVD related events such as heart attack.

Data in over 100 published papers reinforce the superior clinical value of the NMR LipoProfile test. These most recent findings were published in the National Lipid Association's December issue of Journal of Clinical Lipidology.
