The purpose of this book is to provide peer-reviewed data form leading medical journals that clearly demonstrate that oxidized LDL is the culprit molecule, or pathophysiologic substance, directly involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). That the oxLDL assay based on the monoclonal antibody 4E6 will become the successor to the use of LDL in the diagnosis and the therapeutic monitoring of CAD. And, as a result, a significant number of lives will be improved.
