In a pooled study of asymptomatic cohorts over 18 years of observation, Quipse et al. found that a calculated ‘remnant cholesterol’ (in the following discussion, the terminology employed by the various authors is provided in quotation marks) derived using the Martin/Hopkins equation (approximately equal to VLDL (TRL) cholesterol) predicted ASCVD events independent of LDL-C and apoB [50]. Here, APOB is linked to atherosclerosis.
