VLDL3: Most dense VLDL subclass. Atherogenic B Total VLDL: Main carrier of triglycerides. Elevated levels shown to contribute to increased risk for CAD. Pattern A: Large, buoyant LDL IDL: An intermediate in VLDL catabolism. Atherogenic B B IDL Remnants VLDL-C Pattern B: Small, dense LDL. “Highest Risk” B B B Buoyant LDL B B B Dense LDL B LDL-C HDL2:Large, buoyant HDL. B Total LDL: The end product of VLDL catabolism. B B B B B B Lp(a): Consists of LDL plus a protein called apo(a). “Heart attack” cholesterol.
