Panel
Advanced Lipid Panel, Cardio IQ
$105.49
The advanced lipid profile provides a more comprehensive assessment of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panel measurements.
- Apolipoprotein B The main protein found on LDL and other 'bad' cholesterol particles. Considered a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk, since each particle carries one ApoB molecule.
- LDL Size Measures the average size of your LDL ('bad' cholesterol) particles; smaller, denser particles are considered more likely to contribute to artery plaque.
- Lipoprotein(a) A genetically-determined, LDL-like particle. Elevated levels are an independent, largely inherited risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
- Total Cholesterol The combined measure of all cholesterol in your blood — HDL, LDL, and other lipoproteins together. A foundational marker of cardiovascular risk.
- Triglycerides A type of fat in your blood used for energy storage. Elevated levels are linked to increased cardiovascular risk and often reflect diet, weight, or metabolic health.
- HDL Cholesterol The 'good' cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels are generally linked to lower cardiovascular risk.
- HDL Large
- LDL Cholesterol (by calculation) The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. A core marker used to assess cardiovascular disease risk.
- LDL Medium
- LDL Particle Number
- LDL Pattern
- LDL Small
- Non-HDL Cholesterol Total cholesterol minus HDL — capturing all the potentially artery-clogging ('bad') cholesterol particles in one number.
- Total Cholesterol / HDL Ratio Compares your total cholesterol to your HDL ('good') cholesterol, offering a quick snapshot of cardiovascular risk balance.
Cardio IQ Advanced Lipid Panel with Inflammation
$166.49
Advanced Lipid Panel with Inflammation, Cardio IQ® This test goes beyond the standard lipid panel to provide a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. According to the 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines, it's important to match statin treatment intensity with the absolute risk of cardiovascular events. This test includes advanced CVD markers like ion mobility, ApoB, lp(a), hsCRP, and Lp-PLA2, offering a clearer picture of your CVD risk.
- Apolipoprotein B The main protein found on LDL and other 'bad' cholesterol particles. Considered a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk, since each particle carries one ApoB molecule.
- Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol The 'bad' cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. A core marker used to assess cardiovascular disease risk.

Cardio IQ Lipoprotein Fractionation, Ion Mobility
$42.49
This test is crucial for understanding heart health. It directly measures the size and concentration of lipoprotein particles, which can provide valuable insights into your risk of developing premature heart disease. These include:
- LDL Size Measures the average size of your LDL ('bad' cholesterol) particles; smaller, denser particles are considered more likely to contribute to artery plaque.
- HDL Large
- LDL Medium
- LDL Particle Number
- LDL Pattern
- LDL Small
