InstalabBoston Heart LipoMap
A comprehensive look at your lipid metabolism, including particle number, apoB, and apoA.
What's included
26 Biomarkers Included
- Total CholesterolSee whether the full picture of your cholesterol reveals cardiovascular risk that a single LDL number misses.
- LDL Cholesterol (Direct)See whether the particles that cause heart disease are accumulating faster than your body can clear them.
- HDL CholesterolSee whether your body's cholesterol cleanup system is working in the sweet spot, or quietly drifting toward hidden risk at either extreme.
- Non-HDL CholesterolYour most complete read on artery-clogging cholesterol, more accurate than LDL alone.
- TriglyceridesSee whether the fat particles in your blood are quietly raising your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and pancreas damage.
- IDL Cholesterolthe cholesterol content carried by intermediate-density lipoprotein particles, which are transitional forms between VLDL and LDL and can contribute to atherosclerosis.
- VLDL CholesterolSee whether the cholesterol particles your standard lipid panel underestimates are silently raising your heart attack risk.
- Apolipoprotein A1One of the strongest predictors of heart attack and stroke risk, beyond what standard cholesterol alone can show.
- ApoA-IIThe second most abundant protein in HDL, involved in lipid metabolism and HDL particle stability.
- ApoBThe single best blood marker for heart attack risk, more accurate than LDL cholesterol
- LDL-POne of the strongest reads on heart attack risk, catching danger that a normal cholesterol panel hides.
- IDL Particle NumberGet an early read on hidden cholesterol particles that may damage arteries, beyond what a standard lipid panel reveals.
- VLDL Particle NumberSpot the fat-carrying particles fueling heart disease and insulin resistance, often missed by a standard cholesterol panel.
- LDL1 Particle NumberThe number of the largest, least dense LDL particles, generally considered less atherogenic than small, dense forms.
- LDL2 Particle NumberThe number of large LDL particles that are moderately dense, with intermediate atherogenic potential.
- LDL3 Particle NumberThe number of medium-density LDL particles, which have greater potential to penetrate the arterial wall than larger LDL subclasses.
- LDL4 Particle NumberThe number of small, dense LDL particles, which are strongly linked to higher cardiovascular risk.
- LDL5 Particle NumberThe number of very small LDL particles, considered highly atherogenic due to easy arterial wall penetration.
- LDL6 Particle NumberThe number of the smallest, densest LDL particles, which have the highest atherogenic potential.
- LDL ApoBThe amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in LDL particles, an indicator of the number of atherogenic LDL particles.
- IDL ApoBThe amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in IDL particles, reflecting their concentration and atherogenic potential..
- VLDL ApoBThe amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in very-low-density lipoproteins, linked to triglyceride-rich particle burden.
- LDL TriglyceridesThe amount of triglyceride content within LDL particles, elevated in certain dyslipidemias and insulin resistance.
- IDL TriglyceridesThe amount of triglyceride content within IDL particles, reflecting remnant particle metabolism.
- VLDL TriglyceridesThe amount of triglyceride content within VLDL particle, often elevated in metabolic syndrome.
- HDL-PA particle-level view of your heart's defense system that goes beyond what standard HDL cholesterol can show.
