Increased numbers of small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles may be present in patients with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and normal plasma triglycerides and cholesterol. Measurment of apolipoprotein B is the key to diagnosis and such patients should be considered for statin therapy.
