Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 It has come to my attention that cardiac risk factors change in the medical field frequently. Half of people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels. At one point research indicated the importance of the ratio of HDL to LDL. Then undesirable levels of C-reactive protein was thought to be a red flag especially for women. After that, there was a more sophisticated C-reactive protein. Other times homcysteine levels were measured. Now most recently the medical community is saying it is the ratio of lipoprotein A and B that are the biggest indicators of impending or current cardiovascular disease. Does anyone have any knowledge about how to improve one's lipoprotein ratios? I thought this might be a good one for Bruce or whomever is well informed on this subject. I am sure there are a multitude of factors to consider but I found this interesting enough to share with the group. Thank You, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
