Study: TRL and Lp(a) Proteins Linked to Inflammation, Heart Attack Risk

A study indicates that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are associated with increased inflammation, suggesting that normal cholesterol levels may not fully mitigate heart attack risk. The findings are preliminary and based on the source's report; the underlying study's methodology and peer-review status are not detailed. This matters as it could shift cardiovascular risk assessment beyond LDL cholesterol.
