LDL-P is Concerning: Data from multiple studies show elevated LDL-P (greater than 1300) is significantly predictive of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk even if HDL-C or HDL-P are elevated. Also, CVD risk associated with high LDL-P is present whether pattern a (large LDL size) or pattern b (small LDL size) is present.
