title: [The APO A/APO B ratio in the screening of patients at cardiovascular risk].
abstract: A brief introduction on the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is followed by a review of the various tests used in screening subjects at cardiovascular risk including the new test to determine Apo A/Apo B measurement. The reliability of the various biohumoral indices in several sample groups is analysed and compared. It is concluded that variations in the Apo A/Apo B ratio are the most reliable indicator of patients at risk of heart disease.
