Neurologist Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat warns that normal cholesterol levels do not always indicate a low risk of heart attack. She emphasizes that standard lipid reports may miss crucial indicators like ApoB, which measures cholesterol-carrying particles, and Lipoprotein(a), a genetic risk factor. Elevated ApoB can lead to plaque formation and clotting, while high Lipoprotein(a) suggests a familial predisposition. Dr. Sehrawat advises checking these markers for a more accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk beyond just LDL and triglyceride levels.
