? Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) — A Powerful Predictor of Cardiovascular Risk

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the primary protein found in LDL cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) and other atherogenic lipoproteins. Each ApoB particle represents a potentially harmful cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein capable of contributing to plaque buildup in arteries.

Because ApoB counts the actual number of these particles, it’s considered a more accurate predictor of heart disease than LDL cholesterol alone, especially in patients with normal cholesterol but high cardiovascular risk.

At Desert Mobile Medical, we offer mobile ApoB testing with comprehensive interpretation and follow-up from our physicians — no clinic visit required.
