Why you should get an NMR and not just look at HDL/LDL

[Knight9]

Great podcast that dropped today covering much of what some of us have known or have been learning/preaching for years. I figure this is a good, updated overview in lamens terms with great information in one spot.
Just recently learned I am going the wrong direction with my LDL count and size and with a normal lipid panel..I would not have any clue of these things!

Yes..either. Particle size tests that are quite similar. NMR is labcorp and cardioIQ is quest.
