Where we checked it: medichecks.com ›
Why we picked it
ApoB counts the particles that carry cholesterol into artery walls. A large meta-analysis found ApoB was a stronger marker of heart disease risk than LDL cholesterol or non-HDL cholesterol. This test reports ApoB, ApoA1 and their ratio across 9 biomarkers and can be done by finger-prick.
Best for
People who want ApoB, a count of the cholesterol-carrying particles most linked to artery disease
Not for
A first test if you have never had a standard cholesterol check
