01
Particles, not just totals
ApoB and LDL particle number count what actually builds plaque.
02
Inflammation in the artery wall
Lp-PLA2 picks up arterial inflammation that standard panels miss.
03
Fats you can change
Your omega-3 levels respond to diet within a few months.
Total Cholesterol
All the cholesterol carried in your blood.
BOTH
LDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol carried by LDL particles.
BOTH
HDL Cholesterol
Cholesterol on its way back to the liver for clearance.
BOTH
Triglycerides
Circulating fat; rises with sugar, alcohol and insulin resistance.
BOTH
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Everything except HDL; a broader risk number than LDL.
BOTH
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio
Balance between harmful and protective lipids.
BOTH
LDL Particle Number
How many LDL particles you have, not just how much cholesterol they hold.
BOTH
LDL Small
Small, dense particles that enter artery walls more easily.
BOTH
LDL Medium
Mid-size LDL, read alongside small particles.
BOTH
HDL Large
The larger, more protective HDL particles.
BOTH
LDL Pattern
Whether your LDL is mostly large (A) or small (B).
BOTH
LDL Peak Size
Average diameter of your LDL particles.
BOTH
Apolipoprotein B
One per plaque-forming particle, which makes it the most direct count of them.
BOTH
Lp-PLA2 Activity
An enzyme that signals inflammation inside the artery wall.
BOTH
Omega-3 Total
Combined EPA, DPA and DHA in your blood.
BOTH
EPA
Anti-inflammatory omega-3 found in fatty fish.
BOTH
DPA
The omega-3 that bridges EPA and DHA.
BOTH
DHA
Omega-3 central to heart rhythm and brain tissue.
BOTH
Omega-6 Total
Linoleic and arachidonic acids from seed oils and meat.
BOTH
Arachidonic Acid
An omega-6 that feeds inflammatory signaling.
BOTH
Linoleic Acid
The main omega-6 in most diets.
BOTH
Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio
Balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory fats.
BOTH
Arachidonic Acid/EPA Ratio
A sharper read on inflammatory balance.
BOTH
Lipoprotein(a)
An inherited particle that raises risk regardless of diet. Most people have never been tested for it.
160 ONLY
Apolipoprotein A1
Main protein on HDL; reflects protective capacity.
160 ONLY
ApoB/ApoA1 Ratio
Harmful-to-protective particle balance.
160 ONLY
NT-proBNP
Released when the heart muscle is under strain.
160 ONLY
TMAO
A gut-derived compound linked to plaque formation.
