Heart-risk tests compared
The standard lipid profile covers most people. ApoB is a sharper cardiac-risk marker for specific situations. Here's when it's worth it.
The bottom line
For most people, the standard lipid profile — total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides — is the right, cost-effective heart-risk screen. Apolipoprotein B counts the actual number of cholesterol-carrying particles and is a sharper risk marker in specific situations: diabetes, high triglycerides, or a strong family history where LDL alone can understate risk. Start with a lipid profile; add ApoB if you have those risk factors or your doctor wants a finer read.
It's a routine heart-risk check with no special risk factors.

See price & bookThe lipid profile is the familiar cardiac screen — it measures total cholesterol, LDL ('bad'), HDL ('good') and triglycerides. For most people it captures heart risk well and is inexpensive.
Apolipoprotein B counts the number of atherogenic particles rather than the cholesterol they carry. In people with diabetes, high triglycerides or a strong family history, LDL can look reassuring while the particle count is high — and that's where ApoB adds a sharper, more honest read of risk. It complements, rather than replaces, the lipid profile.
