What biomarkers should I test for Silent Vascular Inflammation?

The primary biomarkers to test for Silent Vascular Inflammation include: ApoB, hs-CRP. By measuring particle count (ApoB) alongside inflammatory markers (hs-CRP), we create a high-definition view of your cardiovascular health.

How can biomarker testing help with Silent Vascular Inflammation?

High LDL is a clue, but inflammation is the fire. You can have low cholesterol and still be at high risk for a cardiovascular event if your systemic inflammation is high. By measuring particle count (ApoB) alongside inflammatory markers (hs-CRP), we create a high-definition view of your cardiovascular health.

What is ApoB and how does it relate to Silent Vascular Inflammation?

Apolipoprotein B measures the total number of potentially plaque-forming particles. Target range: < 70 mg/dL. Replace saturated fats with monounsaturated fats (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and increase daily soluble fiber to 15g+.

What is hs-CRP and how does it relate to Silent Vascular Inflammation?

A high-sensitivity marker for systemic inflammation that correlates with arterial plaque rupture. Target range: < 1.0 mg/L. Prioritize Omega-3 supplementation (EPA/DHA) and eliminate ultra-processed seed oils.

Primary Causes & Action Plans

ApoB

The Ultimate Risk Marker

Apolipoprotein B measures the total number of potentially plaque-forming particles.

Target < 70 mg/dL

Suggested Action Plan

Replace saturated fats with monounsaturated fats (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) and increase daily soluble fiber to 15g+.

hs-CRP

The Inflammation Fire Alarm

A high-sensitivity marker for systemic inflammation that correlates with arterial plaque rupture.

Target < 1.0 mg/L

Suggested Action Plan

Prioritize Omega-3 supplementation (EPA/DHA) and eliminate ultra-processed seed oils.

Getting Started

The "Hard" Metric Check

Request an ApoB test. Do not rely on a standard calculated LDL-C, which can be highly inaccurate.

Intervention & Re-test

Implement a high-fiber, low-saturated fat protocol for 90 days, then re-test to see the delta in particle count.
