Commentary on Twitter

Study from @marstonMD @TIMIStudyGroup et al found lipid-associated risk for myocardial infarction is best captured by the number of apoB-containing lipoproteins, independent from lipid content (cholesterol or TG) or type of lipoprotein (LDL or TG-rich) https://t.co/UBby6mtj6e
