Robert Lustig: The True Hazard Risk of Triglycerides vs. LDL Which one is more concerning?
Short transcript excerpt of Robert Lustig (from a video uploaded by Dr. Ron Najafi) arguing that triglyceride levels are a better indicator of atherogenic (heart disease) risk than LDL particle size alone. He reports hazard risk ratios: LDL → 1.3, triglycerides → 1.8, and states triglycerides are ~50% more specific for heart disease than LDL.
