APO-B Apolipoproteins blood test helps in determining the risks of atherosclerosis heart disease. LDL (bad cholesterol) and its major protein, apolipoprotein B, play an essential role in lipid transport and metabolism. Apolipoprotein B (APO-B) may be important in the formation of atherosclerosis and is useful in the evaluation of patients at risk for or having coronary atherosclerosis (CAD). High levels indicate increased risk for CAD. CAD, also known as Coronary Artery Disease, is a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.
