Validation of a Proposed Novel Equation for Estimating LDL Cholesterol
Aggressive strategies to lower Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol in circulation are recommended for prevention of cardiovascular events. Most often laboratories report LDL-cholesterol based on an equation using measured values of total cholesterol, HDL - cholesterol and triglycerides, the so called Friedewald calculation named after the first author who published that work in Clinical Chemistry back in 1972.
