Focus: LDL particle subfractions and cardiovascular risk

Dr. Ronald Krauss is a senior scientist and director of Atherosclerosis Research at the University of California San Francisco. He is internationally recognised for his work on LDL cholesterol subfractions, identifying that small dense LDL particles carry significantly higher cardiovascular risk than large buoyant LDL. His research has reshaped the understanding of lipid metabolism and cardiovascular risk assessment.
