This Cardio IQ® Advanced Lipid Panel consists of a standard lipid profile and additional blood biomarkers identifying CVD risks across a broader range.
What is the difference between a lipid panel and an advanced lipid panel?
A standard lipid profile shows the overall outlook of cholesterol, it may even be normal, but an advanced lipid profile measures the most accurate LDL levels that can lead to atherosclerosis. This shows the accurate target number that is required for the management of your cholesterol.
Do you have to fast for a cardio IQ test?
Those with no other risk factors for heart disease should be tested with a fasting lipid profile once every 4-6 years; Those who have risk factors such as smoking, overweight or obesity, and unhealthy diet. Special Notes: Fasting is required 9-12 hours prior to giving blood sample.
Do you need to fast for advanced lipid panel?
Two commonly used advanced lipid tests are apolipoprotein B (apoB) and LDL particle number (LDL-P). How are advanced lipid tests performed and how often should I have testing? ApoB and LDL-P are both simple blood tests and do not require fasting.
Does lipid panel cover A1C?
Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, glucose, and hemoglobin (HB) A1C are all examined in the LIPID BLOOD TEST PANEL PLUS HEMOGLOBIN (HB) A1C blood test to assess cardiovascular health.
What does a cardiac IQ test show?
This Lipid Panel is used to detect, classify and monitor those with hyperlipidemia, a condition where there are high levels of fat particles (lipids) in the blood. It is used to assess one's risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to monitor treatment.
