CVR (Cardio Vascular risks)

Biomarkers

#APOB

(Lipo Protein) - #Peter_Attia

• apoB is a far superior measurement than LDL-C when trying to predict CVR
• The best biomarker we have for CVR
• Total concentration of all particles capable of inducing atherosclerosis
• Ideal level around 20 - 30
• Late 30 - ceiling of 60 - should be below this

CRP (c-reactive protein)

CRP is high when consuming high fructose. CRS is a marker of inflammation and a predictor of cardiovascular events and stroke.

Troponin

Heart muscle protein - when the blood level is high it means that some protein leaked in the blood.

It indicate a possible heart disease like infarction. It is also high after a prolonged endurance activity.
