Hazard Risk Ratio of Serum Triglyceride is higher than LDL for heart disease #heartdisease #doctors
A short excerpt from a July 18, 2024 YouTube video by Dr. Ron Najafi asserting that the commonly used public-health hazard risk ratio threshold is 1.3 for heart disease, that LDL aligns with ~1.3, and that serum triglyceride shows a higher hazard risk ratio (~1.8). The speaker concludes serum triglyceride (described as very low density lipoproteins produced by the liver from sugar-to-fat conversion) is about 50% more informative than LDL for heart disease risk.
