In this video (https://youtu.be/TRB0jOfymLk), Dr Paul Mason says that by reducing the number of pattern-A LDL particles, the ratio between pattern A and pattern B is made worse, and that this is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. To check this out, I looked up the paper referenced in his slideshow: https://doi.org/10.1161/01.CIR.0000141728.23033.B5 -- But this seems to indicate that taking 80mg Atorvastatin results in improved clearance of OxPL, which "may contribute to a reduction in ischemic events after ACS."
Where does he get the idea of an association with worse CV outcomes? Did I miss something? Am I looking at the right paper?
