Back to Test DirectoryTN57 : Advanced Lipid Panel, Cardio IQ
INFORMATION:
Alternate Name:
Advanced Lipid Panel, C
Methodology:
Spectrophotometry
Clinical Utility:
The advanced lipid profile provides a more comprehensive assessment of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panel measurements. Standard lipid panels measure total cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglycerides, and a calculated LDL-C, but do not capture all of the complexity of dyslipidemia and associated CVD risk. For a substantial number of individuals, lipoprotein measures such as LDL particle number, ApoB and Lp(a) add to the predictive power of standard lipid assessment of CVD risk. The advanced lipid profile combines a standard lipid panel with 3 additional tests: lipoprotein subfraction assessment by ion mobility of LDL particle number and LDL and HDL particle subclass concentrations, the ApoB test, and the Lp(a) test.
