Otvos says ‘fluffy’ LDL does not offset risk when LDL particle count is high

402 ‒ NMR blood analysis: how mortality risk and more can be assessed from a single blood sample
What was said
""I would say that's uh a facious idea. Um, and and the data that I mentioned supports it completely.""
Asked about patients who argue that large, “buoyant” LDL particles make high LDL particle number less concerning, Otvos rejects the claim. He says analyses show LDL size does not add predictive value once LDL particle number is accounted for, and cites familial hypercholesterolaemia as an example where LDL particles can be large yet risk remains high.
