Cholesterol Status

Triglycerides Learn More

Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) that is found within the blood. After a meal, the body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides. These are then transported to cells where they are stored as fat. Later, the production of hormones can stimulate the release of triglycerides which can be used for energy between meals. The regular overconsumption of greater than those burned may result in hypertriglyceridemia, a condition in which the level of triglycerides are elevated. This can be a risk factor for microvascular disease which affects the tiny blood vessels around the heart. 

Cholesterol Learn More

Cholesterol is an essential body fat (lipid) that is predominantly derived from the foods we consume, though, is also produced by the liver. Cholesterol is an important component of cell membranes and is also a precursor molecule to a variety of essential hormones. Individuals with high levels of cholesterol in the body are at a significantly increased risk for developing heart disease. However, total cholesterol is a sum of both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether the rise in total cholesterol is caused by a high proportion of HDL or LDL as HDL can in fact exhibit protective effects against heart disease.

HDL Cholesterol Learn More

HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is often referred to as the "good" cholesterol due to its ability to pick up other forms of excess cholesterol present in the blood and transport this back to the liver where it is broken down and removed from the body. Individuals with increased levels of HDL cholesterol have been found to be associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease.

LDL Cholesterol Learn More

LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) also known as the "bad" cholesterol is responsible for transporting triglycerides, other fats and other cholesterol to a variety of tissues located throughout the body. Excessive amounts of LDL in the body as a result of the overconsumption of certain foods, can result in fatty deposits accumulating on the walls of the artery. This can subsequently result in the development of atherosclerosis and is associated with an increased risk of heart disease. 

Non-HDL Cholesterol Learn More

Measurements of Non-HDL cholesterol are important in establishing the total amount of cholesterol present in the blood that serve a non-protective role for the body and are potentially harmful. The value is calculated by subtracting an individuals HDL cholesterol result from the value of total cholesterol. As the value includes a total of all the forms of potentially damaging cholesterol and not just LDL alone, it is considered to be a greater biomarker for cardiovascular risk.

Total/HDL Chol ratio Learn More

HDL (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol is often referred to as the "good" cholesterol due to its ability to pick up other forms of excess cholesterol present in the blood and transport this back to the liver where it is broken down and removed from the body. Individuals with increased levels of HDL cholesterol have been found to be associated with a lower risk of developing heart disease.

LDL Small Learn More

LDL Small refers to small, dense low-density lipoprotein particles that are particularly harmful to cardiovascular health. These particles penetrate arterial walls more easily and are more prone to oxidation, promoting plaque formation. Higher levels of small LDL are strongly associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. LDL Small can be elevated even when total LDL cholesterol appears normal. Measuring this marker provides deeper insight into hidden cardiovascular risk.

LDL Medium Learn More

LDL Medium refers to LDL particles that are intermediate in size between large and small LDL. Elevated levels of medium LDL contribute to overall atherogenic particle burden and cardiovascular risk. These particles can still penetrate arterial walls and participate in plaque formation. LDL Medium levels often rise with metabolic imbalance and insulin resistance. Assessing this marker adds detail to LDL particle profile and heart disease risk evaluation.

LDL Particle Number Learn More

LDL Particle Number (LDL-P) measures the total number of LDL particles circulating in the blood. A higher LDL particle count increases the likelihood of cholesterol penetrating arterial walls and forming plaques. LDL-P is often a stronger predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol concentration alone. It can be elevated even when LDL cholesterol appears normal. Measuring LDL particle number helps refine risk assessment and guide personalized treatment strategies.

LDL Pattern Learn More

LDL Pattern classifies LDL particles based on their size and density. Pattern A is characterized by larger, buoyant LDL particles and is generally associated with lower cardiovascular risk. Pattern B consists of smaller, denser LDL particles, which are more atherogenic and linked to higher heart disease risk. LDL pattern is often influenced by insulin resistance, triglyceride levels, and lifestyle factors. This marker offers deeper insight beyond standard LDL cholesterol measurements.

LDL Peak Size Learn More

LDL Peak Size indicates the predominant size of LDL particles circulating in the blood. Larger LDL particles are generally considered less atherogenic, while smaller, denser particles carry higher cardiovascular risk. A smaller LDL peak size is associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and increased plaque formation. This marker helps differentiate LDL quality, not just quantity. Assessing LDL peak size provides a more refined evaluation of heart disease risk.

HDL Large Learn More

HDL Large refers to the larger, more mature subfraction of high-density lipoprotein particles. These particles play a protective role by efficiently removing excess cholesterol from tissues and transporting it to the liver for clearance (reverse cholesterol transport). Higher levels of large HDL particles are generally associated with better cardiovascular health. Low HDL Large levels may indicate reduced protective function despite normal total HDL. This marker provides deeper insight into heart disease risk beyond standard HDL-cholesterol.

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Learn More

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is a key protein found on cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins such as LDL, VLDL, and IDL. It reflects the total number of atherogenic (plaque-forming) particles in the blood. Elevated ApoB levels are strongly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. Compared to LDL-cholesterol, ApoB provides a more accurate assessment of heart disease risk. Measuring ApoB helps guide personalized strategies for cardiovascular prevention and management.

Lipoprotein (a) Learn More

Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a genetically determined cholesterol-containing particle similar to LDL but with an added apolipoprotein(a). Elevated Lp(a) levels significantly increase the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke. Unlike other lipids, Lp(a) is minimally affected by diet and lifestyle. It also promotes inflammation and blood clot formation. Measuring Lp(a) helps identify inherited cardiovascular risk.

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Learn More

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is a blood marker that reflects low-grade inflammation in the body. Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. It helps identify vascular inflammation even when cholesterol levels are normal. hs-CRP is influenced by infections, lifestyle factors, and chronic conditions. Measuring hs-CRP supports a more comprehensive assessment of heart and metabolic health.

About this test and how it can help you

The Healthy Heart Initial Test is a comprehensive baseline assessment of your cardiovascular health. It measures cholesterol levels, advanced lipid particles, lipoproteins, and inflammatory markers that play a key role in heart disease risk. This test helps identify hidden risk factors such as unhealthy LDL particle patterns or early inflammation, even when standard cholesterol appears normal. The results provide a detailed snapshot of how your heart and blood vessels are functioning at the start of monitoring. It serves as a foundation for personalized lifestyle, dietary, or medical recommendations. This test is ideal for first-time testing, preventive health screening, or before starting any heart-focused intervention. Establishing an accurate baseline allows meaningful comparison with future follow-up tests. It supports early detection and proactive heart disease prevention.
