Lipoprotein Particle Check

Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle linked to genetic risk for heart disease. High levels increase cardiovascular risk.

Overall cholesterol level in blood

Often called "bad" cholesterol, contributing to atherosclerosis and heart disease.

Considered "bad" cholesterol; contributes to plaque buildup in arteries.

Often called "good" cholesterol, removing excess cholesterol and protecting against heart disease.

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.

Non-HDL cholesterol is the total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol, representing all "bad" cholesterols. High levels can increase the risk of heart disease.

Intermediate Density Lipoprotein formed from VLDL degradation.

Intermediate Density Lipoprotein formed from VLDL degradation.

Largest, least dense LDL subtype; less atherogenic than smaller LDLs.

Second largest, second least dense LDL subtype; less atherogenic than smaller LDLs.

Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.

Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.

Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.

Small, dense LDL; highly atherogenic, associated with increased coronary artery disease risk.

Smallest, densest LDL subtype; highest atherogenicity.

Low values indicate small, atherogenic LDL particles.

Risk based on mean LDL particle size; other risk factors may require medical intervention.
