Complete Vascular Biomarker and Cholesterol Screening Profile

A very comprehensive evaluation

Critical vascular biomarkers measurement

Assess cardiovascular risk related to inflammation and risk for cholesterol plaque in the arteries 

NMR-Lipoprofile:

1. very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) 
2. intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL)
3. low-density lipoproteins (LDL
4. MUCH MORE 

Apo-B

Apolipoprotein B-100 is the primary protein associated with LDL cholesterol and other lipid particles. Like LDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

ApoA-I

• ApoA-I is the major component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol. Like HDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease as it plays an important role in reverse cholesterol transport (i.e. LDL removal)

Ratio of apolipoprotein A-1:apolipoprotein B

• Studies have shown that the ratio of apolipoprotein A-1:apolipoprotein B may correlate better with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) than total cholesterol, and LDL:HDL ratio.The ratio of these two apolipoproteins correlates with risk of cardiovascular disease.

Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a) 

• Lipoprotein(a) particles are similar to LDL particles, but sticker than LDL, which means they are more likely to cause blockages in the arteries. High levels of lipoprotein(a) are a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. 

HgA1C, Ferritin, cardio CRP-hs are independent inflammatory markers

FYI:
Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL cholesterol. Like HDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B-100 is the primary protein associated with LDL cholesterol and other lipid particles. Like LDL cholesterol, increased concentrations are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The ratio of these two apolipoproteins correlates with risk of cardiovascular disease.
