Thanks to Dr Thomas Dayspring for his great mentoring of me and thousands of others. Dr. Dayspring posted the article below. I was lucky to record a great discussion in Cincinnati National Lipid Association meeting between Dayspring and Sniderman. For most purposes non-LDLc is sufficient to find discordance. But get at least one advanced lipid testing to be certain as well as Lp(a).
Thus I coined the term Tubby Factor to tell these people to calculate their non-HDLc to look for discordance as with Tim Russert who had LDLc 68 yet had sudden cardiac death.
