LDL-P (LDL particle number) measures the actual number of LDL particles (particle concentration, nmol/L). It appears that LDL-P may be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL-C. Low LDL-P is a much stronger predictor of low risk than low LDL-C.
The percentage of abnormally small LDL particles required to be labeled âLDL pattern Bâ differs. Some laboratories say 30% or more small LDL should be called âLDL pattern B,â while others use a cutoff of 50% or more. So what is labeled âLDL pattern Bâ differs from one laboratory to the next. For example, in one lipoprotein technique called Vertical Auto-Profile, or VAP, offered by the Atherotech laboratory, if you have 60% small LDL particles and your total LDL is 150 mg/dl, then you have 90 mg/dl small LDL (60% of 150). You donât even have to worry about what the labâs cutoff is for small LDL.
