Recent studies also suggest that apolipoprotein B (ApoB) containing lipoproteins, including triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and their residues, as well as lipoprotein a) [Lp(a)], are not only involved in the pathophysiology of ASCVD but may also be associated with events such as atherosclerotic thrombosis (Ference et al., 2017). Here, APOB is linked to deep vein thrombosis.
