Abstract(s)

Dyslipidaemia is one major cause for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Atherogenicity of LDL particles vary with particle size, density and lipid composition. Smaller and denser subparticles are more atherogenic than the larger ones, so it’s important to quantify and know the type of sdLDL present in an individual in order to access cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study is to compare and evaluate two different techniques for the analysis of the atherogenic lipidic profile of dyslipidaemic individuals.
