Researchers have found a test that helps to assess the risk of vascular heart disease and gives more accurate results than the current cholesterol test.
The study was conducted by researchers from several European universities in cooperation with Harvard University in the United States of America. The study was published in the European Heart Heart Journal on April 28, 2025, and was written by the website of Ener.
The researchers recommended the use of protein levels called “Apolipoprotein B” on the surface of fatty proteins in the blood, and indicates the total number of harmful cholesterol particles. In addition to measuring the level of “Lipoprotein A” associated with its levels of genetic factors in most people, most doctors may lose sight of it.
A test “Apolypoprotin B” and “Oily Protein A” are not two new tests, but have been present for a long time in most blood test laboratories, and the researchers in this study concluded that these two examinations are better in detecting the risk of heart disease.
The effectiveness of the examination
Dr. Jacob Morzah, one of the study researchers and post -PhD fellow in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine from the Swedish University of Chalnes, said that traditional cholesterol examination is still good, but it may reduce the estimation of the risk of infection in some patients. As it may not give an accurate number to the total number of harmful cholesterol, the opposite of what is indicated by the examination of the level of “Apolypoprotin B” protein.
Cholesterol is a form of fat, and it is included in the process of building cells and producing some vitamins and hormones. Cholesterol cannot dissolve in the blood, so it is transmitted to various cells by lipoproteins.
Sebaceous proteins
Fatty proteins are divided into four main types, including Low-Density Lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein liprotein proteins, and lipoprotein oily protein. These species are shared by a special protein on their surface called Apolypoprotin B. These fatty proteins are deposited on the walls of the blood vessels when their levels are composed of fatty plaques and affect the health of the heart and arteries.
The fourth type known as high-density liprotein liprotein is the task of removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and getting rid of it in the liver, and this type is known as good cholesterol.
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in the world according to the World Health Organization. Most cases can be avoided by making some lifestyle changes such as moving away from smoking, healthy and balanced nutrition, and increased physical activity.
