title = "Chapter 8 Atherogenic Lipoprotein Subprofiling",
abstract = "Elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol are a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. However, a significant number of coronary events occur in individuals with {"}normal{"} serum LDL cholesterol levels. It has been proposed that coronary heart disease (CHD) risk stratification may be improved by evaluating LDL particle size and number and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels in addition to LDL-associated cholesterol levels. This chapter includes a brief review of lipoprotein biology and presents an overview of the association between novel lipoprotein markers and CHD risk. We also discuss methodologies currently available for atherogenic lipid subprofiling.",
