Our Lipid and Cholesterol Tests Include:

1. Total Cholesterol This test measures the overall level of cholesterol in your blood, an important factor in determining your risk for heart disease.

2. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) – “Good” Cholesterol HDL helps remove bad cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

3. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) – “Bad” Cholesterol LDL cholesterol can build up in the walls of your arteries, leading to plaque formation and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This test helps assess your LDL levels.

4. Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) VLDL carries triglycerides, a type of fat, in the blood. High levels of VLDL can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries.

5. Triglycerides Triglycerides are fats stored in your body and are often associated with higher heart disease risk. Monitoring triglyceride levels is important for assessing your overall heart health.

Why Lipid and Cholesterol Testing is Important:

• Early Detection of Heart Disease Risk: Elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels can lead to serious heart conditions. Regular testing helps identify these risks early.
• Monitoring and Managing Health: For individuals managing cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes or medication, regular testing ensures that your health plan is working effectively.
• Preventive Health Care: Even if you feel healthy, cholesterol testing provides valuable insights to help prevent future cardiovascular issues.
