Multiplex Apolipoprotein Panel Boosts Cardiovascular Risk Prediction and Precision Therapy
In >11,800 post-ACS patients from ODYSSEY OUTCOMES, a 9-plex mass-spectrometry apolipoprotein panel outperformed the standard lipid profile in predicting:
• Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (AUC 0.65 vs 0.58)
• All-cause death (AUC 0.70 vs 0.60)
The panel also identified which patients benefit most from PCSK9 inhibition (alirocumab) – paving the way for precision lipidology.
Key components: Apo(a), ApoA-I, ApoA-II, ApoA-IV, ApoB, ApoC-I, ApoC-II, ApoC-III, ApoE.
Alirocumab reduced Apo(a), ApoB, and ApoC isoforms by >30–50%.
Bottom line:
Integrated apolipoprotein profiling refines risk stratification and optimizes treatment allocation – a step forward in personalized cardiovascular medicine.
