I know some find this topic interesting: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/10/4/829
I'm not well-read on this topic as I'm in Pediatrics where this is less relevant. This review certainly makes a case for considering LDL particle size when determining cardiovascular risk. It'll be interesting to see if general guidelines change when they are next updated.

Nope. That's where I wonder if we are missing out on potentially useful information. Currently guidelines do not incorporate the particle sizes so it's hard to justify testing for them. The general advice (ie, eat healthier, exercise more, lose excess fat) likely won't change either. I don't know if there would be differences from a medication management perspective, I think that's where practical utility may be present.

My dad is a doctor, a surgeon. If you go to him with any problem he will tell you that you are going to die.
My mom is a doctor too, family practice. She will say that you will be fine.
They are both correct.
I've got this great big 3 story rental house that is furnished. I decorated it.
I showed it to my nephew and neice.
Nephew said it was pretty cool.
Neice said it's full of tits and asses.
They are both correct.Current rankings:

LDL is generally measured as a concentration (ie, ng/mL), and here is one guideline: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1...00000000000625 You can look at figure 2 for a quick summary.
You'll see ASCVD referenced, here is a calculator for that (which also incorporates cholesterol values): https://tools.acc.org/ascvd-risk-est...late/estimate/My 100% free website: healthierwithscience.com
