Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for the leading causes of death, the leading one being cardiovascular disease. Everyone sits somewhere on the scale of insulin sensitivity from very insulin sensitive to very insulin resistant at the point of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is characterised by high blood insulin levels.

For every one standard deviation increase of ApoB, the risk of coronary artery disease increases by 65% 2. Except in the setting of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance and obesity. The retention of an ApoB particle in the artery wall is the signature of atherosclerosis.

Among those ages 65 and older, nearly 50% who underwent limb amputation died within one year after surgery, according to the 2024 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics: A Report of U.S. and Global Data From the American Heart Association. All patients with PAD should be treated with high-intensity statin therapy.

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. An elevated Lp(a) does increase the risk of early cardiovascular disease, but that risk is not set in stone.

Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
