Is particle measurement cost-effective?

Particle measurement, particularly in the context of LDL cholesterol and heart disease risk assessment, has become more cost-effective with recent advancements. Dr. Ronald Krauss highlights that new methodologies, such as ion mobility, have significantly reduced costs, making them comparable to standard cholesterol panels. This approach sprays particles into the air for precise measurement, offering consistent and refined data. Despite previous cost barriers, the refined methods are now more financially accessible, supporting broader clinical adoption for better risk assessment and treatment decisions 1.
