Standard lipid panels do not capture the full picture of arterial plaque risk. The lipoprotein insulin resistance test has the strongest association with cardiovascular atherosclerosis among available measurements. Carotid ultrasound provides approximately 98.6% predictive accuracy for cardiovascular disease risk. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Lp-PLA2 are biomarkers that specifically detect the presence of soft, unstable plaque.
