LDL particle analysis is clinically important for treatment decisions.

“I think that's where the particle analysis really is important. For screening the population, I think one can argue, the standard lipid tests do a fairly good job. But if you're having somebody, if you or, in my case, my patients, are on the cusp about whether they should be dealing with their lipids, I think these measurements add enormously to our ability to target those people who would benefit from certain kinds of treatments, statins, diet, and then monitoring them as they're undergoing treatment.”
