Drive ApoB as Low as Possible
Aim for very low apolipoprotein B as a cardiovascular risk-reduction strategy, with especially aggressive targets in higher-risk people. The practical approach is to use lifestyle changes and, when needed, lipid-lowering therapy to push ApoB down well below standard “normal” ranges, because fewer ApoB-containing particles generally means less plaque formation and lower long-term heart disease risk.

“If your objective is to not die from heart disease and only to die with it, then you want ApoB as low as possible... we might be satisfied with a person's ApoB being at the fifth percentile of the population, which would be about 60 milligrams per deciliter... we'll treat ApoB to 30 to 40 milligrams per deciliter.”
