LDL plays a causal role in atherogenesis LDL cholesterol remains the main lipid target both in primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention LDL becomes modified and more atherogenic in proinflammatory conditions, including obesity, MS and diabetes. LDL cholesterol is a LDL particle subrogated marker. Other parameters, as particle number and size, could give a supplementary information about LDL metabolic status. Low HDL and high TG are associated to smaller and denser LDL Apo B and Non HDL cholesterol are clinical markers of LDL alterations A good lipid control includes low LDL, ApoB, Non-HDL Ch, TG and normal HDL, Apo A1
