Compares the amount of total cholesterol in your blood to the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Elevated ratios may indicate low levels of good cholesterol. Useful in identifying people who may be at risk even if their total cholesterol appears “normal.”

HDL Cholesterol helps assess your heart’s cholesterol balance - it shows whether your levels are helping or hurting your arteries.

LDL carries cholesterol to the arteries and, when elevated, may contribute to plaque buildup and increase the risk of heart disease.

Represents all atherogenic (potentially harmful) cholesterol particles; used to assess cardiovascular risk.

The total amount of cholesterol in the blood, including HDL, LDL, and other lipid components.

A form of fat stored in the blood; elevated levels are associated with increased cardiovascular risk and metabolic disorders.

Found in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol; a better predictor of heart disease risk than LDL alone.

Found in LDL (“bad”) cholesterol; a better predictor of heart disease risk than LDL alone.

Compares bad to good cholesterol; a strong indicator of cardiovascular risk.
