Comparison of Apolipoprotein B and LDL-C with Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS)
Whoa!!! Slow down here!! Mainstream medicince is still trying to swallow the idea that CRP and homocysteine are major risk factors for CVD!! We really shouldn’t throw too much research at clinicians all at once. Besides, if we start realizing that cholesterol isn’t the major risk factor for CVD, than what are we going to do with the billions and billions of dollars spent on statins??
