Often people think that if the reports of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipid profiles are normal, then they do not need to worry, but experts say that even if the reports are normal in some people, there may be more harmful particles in the arteries. This is the reason why some people get heart attacks without any warning.

LDL-C i.e. low-density lipoprotein cholesterol tells how much cholesterol is present inside the LDL particles present in the blood. The ApoB test tells us the total number of harmful particles in the blood that can deposit plaque in the arteries. These include particles like LDL, VLDL and IDL.
