Ultimate Cardiac IQ Healthy Heart Cholesterol Profile
Blood Test for High Cholesterol and Heart Health
What this test measures
Ldl Particle Number
An elevated LDL particle number can indicate a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, as it may lead to an accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries.
Ldl Small
A higher concentration of small, dense LDL particles can increase the risk of heart disease.
Lipoprotein (A)
High levels of Lipoprotein (A) can indicate a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cholesterol, Total
High total cholesterol levels can lead to conditions like hypercholesterolemia, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Hdl Cholesterol
Low levels of HDL cholesterol (the 'good cholesterol') can increase the risk of heart disease.
Triglycerides
High levels of triglycerides in the blood can indicate this condition, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B
High levels of Apolipoprotein B can indicate an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease since this protein is a primary component of low-density lipoprotein.
Ldl Peak Size
A smaller LDL peak size can indicate a higher risk of coronary heart disease, as smaller, denser LDL particles are more atherogenic.
Ldl Pattern
LDL pattern B (small, dense LDL particles) is associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease.
Hdl Large
Lower levels of large HDL particles, which play a role in removing cholesterol from the body, can increase the risk of heart disease.
Ldl Medium
Medium-density LDL particles can contribute to plaque accumulation and increase the risk of heart disease.
Non Hdl Cholesterol
High levels of non-HDL cholesterol can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chol/Hdlc Ratio
A high cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio can indicate an increased risk of heart disease.
Ldl-Cholesterol
High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaques in the arteries, increasing the risk of coronary artery disease.
Hs CRP
Certain types of cancer can cause inflammation, leading to elevated levels of Hs CRP. However, CRP level alone is not a specific diagnostic marker for cancer and should be used in conjunction with other tests.
