Abstract
The respective subpopulations of IDL and LDL particles can vary in their ability to predict cardiovascular disease risks. These variations may partially explain why quantitative assessments using LDL-cholesterol concentrations, as typically performed in conventional practice, are not perfect predictors of cardiovascular disease. Further studies are required to determine the clinical relevance of analyzing the IDL and LDL subpopulations.
