Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a method (e.g., a computer algorithm) for calculating a number of particles in a LDL subfraction. The method features the steps of: 1) measuring an initial distribution of LDL particles (e.g., a relative mass distribution) from a blood sample; 2) processing the initial distribution of LDL particles with a mathematical model to determine a modified distribution of LDL particles (e.g., a relative particle distribution); 3) determining a total LDL particle number value from a blood sample; and 4) analyzing both the modified distribution of particles and the total LDL particle number value to calculate the particle number value in an LDL subfraction.
