About this test

This test indicates your level of risk for cardiovascular (heart) disease by determining the levels of lipids or fats in your blood. The test includes total Triglycerides, Cholesterol, good fats like HDL (High-density lipoprotein), bad fats like LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) and the % of total HDL in your blood to provide an accurate reflection of your heart health.

Cholesterol levels can often go unnoticed until you are faced with a more serious condition. Early detection and monitoring can provide for better clinical outcomes, by allowing you to take action with lifestyle choices such as diet, regular exercise or prescribed medication.
