Mashup Score: 0Study Suggests ‘Remnant Cholesterol’ As Stand-alone Risk for Heart Attack and Stroke - 4 year(s) ago
An analysis of data gathered from more than 17,000 adults by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers supports the belief that so-called “remnant cholesterol” (RC) provides an accurate stand-alone metric — just as doctors currently use measures of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) — for predicting risk of clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes. In fact, the researchers say, an RC measure may detect…
