The NMR LipoProfile Blood Test, also known as The Particle Test, provides a direct measure of your LDL particle number (LDL-P) along with your standard cholesterol results. Knowing your LDL-P gives you a more complete picture of your heart health.

It is important to know that having a high number of LDL particles is bad. LDL particles carry and deposit cholesterol into your arteries and the cholesterol becomes plaque—called atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. More LDL particles (a higher LDL-P) means there is a greater likelihood that plaque may develop in your arteries increasing your risk for heart disease. If you have a high number of LDL particles, you should lower the number. There are many treatment options available to lower your LDL particle number.

Why should you take the NMR LipoProfile® test?

You should take the NMR LipoProfile® test because it provides a more accurate picture of cardiovascular (CVD) risk than the standard lipid panel. Each year, heart attacks kill more than 8 times as many women than breast cancer and 15 times as many men than prostate cancer. According to a major study, 50% of the people who suffered a heart attack had normal cholesterol levels. If your cholesterol is normal, being lowered by treatments like diet, exercise, or medication; or you have any of the conditions listed below, the NMR LipoProfle test may be right for you:

Diabetes
Previous heart attack
Family history of heart attack
High blood pressure
Overweight/Obesity
Cardiometabolic risk
Metabolic syndrome
Low HDL (dyslipidemia)
High triglycerides

The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Blood Test, Cardiac Risk Assessment measures the hs-CRP levels in the blood to assess the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Apolipoprotein B Blood Test

The Apolipoprotein B Blood Test is used to determine the level of apolipoprotein B in the blood, which helps assess an individual's likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease.

The Lipid Panel Blood Test with Total Cholesterol: HDL Ratio measures blood lipids to assess cardiovascular risk and monitor cholesterol treatment effectiveness.
