Comprehensive Lipid Panel

Understanding your cholesterol numbers is key to assessing heart health, but this advanced lipid panel goes far beyond what you would normally get in a doctor’s office. In addition to measuring total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, it analyzes particle size and number, since smaller, denser LDL particles are more likely to contribute to plaque buildup and increase cardiovascular risk.

This test also includes advanced cardiovascular markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, and Lp-PLA2, which provide a clearer picture of both cholesterol balance and inflammation. By offering deeper insight into cardiovascular disease risk, it allows for more accurate assessment and more personalized strategies to protect your heart health.
