The Lipoprotein (a) Test measures Lp(a), a genetic form of LDL cholesterol linked to higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Unlike standard cholesterol tests, Lp(a) levels are inherited and not easily lowered by lifestyle changes. Doctors order this test for patients with a family history of early cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol. Results help identify hidden risk, guide prevention strategies, and support heart and vascular health management.
The Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein (a) Test measures lipoprotein (a), a type of LDL particle linked to increased cardiovascular risk. Elevated levels are largely inherited and not significantly affected by lifestyle. This test helps identify genetic heart disease risk and guide personalized prevention and treatment strategies.
The Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein Fractionation Ion Mobility Test separates and measures lipoprotein particles by size and concentration using ion mobility technology. It provides a detailed profile of LDL, HDL, and other subclasses, offering a clearer assessment of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol testing.
The NMR Lipoprotein Fractionation Test uses nuclear magnetic resonance to measure particle size and concentration of LDL, HDL, and VLDL cholesterol. Unlike a standard lipid panel, it provides detailed information on lipoprotein subfractions linked to cardiovascular risk. Doctors use this test to assess heart disease risk, guide cholesterol management, and monitor therapy effectiveness. It offers deeper insight into lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health.
The Lipoprotein Electrophoresis Test evaluates lipid metabolism by measuring the distribution of major lipoprotein classes such as HDL, LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons. This test can reveal dyslipoproteinemias, detect abnormal lipid transport, and support assessment of cardiovascular and metabolic health. It offers a more detailed profile than routine cholesterol testing, highlighting underlying patterns that contribute to atherosclerosis risk.
