Beyond ‘bad’ cholesterol: new clues to the risk of heart disease

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261013/Beyond-e28098bade28099-cholesterol-new-clues-to-the-risk-of-heart-disease.aspx Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, shed new light on the remaining risk of heart disease, even after the known risk factor of ‘bad’ cholesterol is brought down to a healthy level. In a new study, key biological pathways – and an understanding of how the body is affected – were identified for the particles believed to contribute to the remaining disease risk. The results pave the way for more closely targeted prevention in heart disease which ultimately may save more lives.
