Cholesterol Panel

The Cholesterol Panel is a key diagnostic tool used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease that evaluates your lipid profile, including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels.

Total Cholesterol *– Measures all the cholesterol in the blood. Elevated levels are a risk factor for heart disease.

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol* – Often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. High levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of a heart attack and stroke.

High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol* – Known as “good” cholesterol. Higher HDL levels are generally associated with a lower risk of heart disease.

Triglycerides* – A type of fat found in the blood. High levels can increase the risk of coronary artery disease.
