High levels of triglycerides and the lipid particles on which they are carried in the blood can contribute to the formation of “plaques” in the arteries that impede blood flow and can lead to heart attacks and strokes. An estimated 1 in 5 U.S. Patients’ average triglyceride level at baseline was about 900 mg/dL.

To prevent heart disease, you need to know what causes it, how to measure the relevant factors and what to do about them. When we say heart disease, what we really mean is plaque in the artery wall. Every cholesterol particle has a protein marker called ApoB on its outside. These ApoB particles move cholesterol around your body.
