Dr. Thomas Dayspring, a world-renowned lipidologist, explores the science of cholesterol and its carriers—lipoproteins—and their role in heart disease.

He highlights the importance of measuring ApoB for a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk and discusses emerging therapies that target ApoB and Lp(a), providing new options for heart disease prevention and treatment.

1. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the best predictor of cardiovascular disease: Dr. Dayspring explains why the real focus should be on the number of atherogenic particles measured via ApoB, rather than the cholesterol content of those particles, which appears on the standard lipid panel.
2. Lp(a): He defines Lp(a) and discusses the dangers associated with its presence in the circulation.
3. Future Therapies: Dr. Dayspring highlights emerging therapies that target Lp(a) and other lipoproteins, which could shift how we approach cholesterol management in the future.
4. Understanding Lipid Panels: Many doctors and patients don’t fully understand lipid panel results. Dr. Dayspring explains what the numbers really mean and how to use them effectively to manage cardiovascular health.
