Why is Apolipoprotein A1 important?

Apo A-1 levels strongly correlate with HDL function and cardiovascular protection. Higher levels indicate better reverse cholesterol transport and reduced cardiovascular risk. It may be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease than HDL cholesterol alone.

What are the symptoms of abnormal Apolipoprotein A1 levels?

Low Apo A-1: Usually asymptomatic but indicates increased cardiovascular risk. Associated with premature coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke risk over time.

Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1) is the primary protein component of HDL cholesterol. It plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport, helping remove excess cholesterol from tissues back to the liver.
