Approximately 20% of ischemic strokes are attributed to the presence of atherosclerosis. Lipoproteins play a crucial role in the development of atherosclerosis, with LDL promoting atherogenesis and HDL inhibiting it. Therefore, both their concentrations and their biological properties are decisive factors in atherosclerotic processes.

The fundamental role of qualitative alterations of lipoproteins in the early development of atherosclerosis has been widely demonstrated. Modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL), such as oxidized LDL (oxLDL), small dense LDL (sdLDL), and electronegative LDL [LDL(-)], are capable of triggering the atherogenic process, favoring the subendothelial accumulation of cholesterol and promoting inflammatory, proliferative, and apoptotic processes characteristic of atherosclerotic lesions. In contrast, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) prevents and/or reverses these atherogenic effects.

Atherosclerosis, the major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, is believed to arise from the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the arterial subendothelial space, ultimately leading to plaque formation. It is proposed that the accumulation of LDL is linked to its intrinsic aggregation propensity. Although the native LDL is not prone to aggregation, LDL(-), an electronegative LDL characterized in the plasma, has been shown to prime LDL aggregation in a domino-like behavior similar to amyloidogenic proteins.

Purpose Of Review: Despite reductions in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDLc), residual cardiovascular risk remains due to factors beyond lipoprotein levels, such as LDL particle count, size, electronegativity and modifications. Technological advances allow detailed profiling of LDL particles, offering potential biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this review is to provide an updated overview of the state of knowledge in the field of LDL atherosclerotic role, which is evolving rapidly due to technological advances in biomarker measurement and applications.
