VAP Cholesterol Blood Test
Are You at Risk for Heart Disease?
The VAP® (Vertical Auto Profile) Blood Test is the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol test available today, reporting 15 separate components of blood cholesterol as opposed to four in a standard test. This more comprehensive test can identify a far greater number of lipid abnormalities (the #1 risk factor of heart disease) than the standard test and is the only cholesterol test to identify markers for Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for diabetes. Risks of both Heart Disease and Diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments, which is why more accurate diagnosis is critical.
The VAP Cholesterol Blood Test is developed by Atherotech, Inc., a cardio-diagnostic company, and is the first cholesterol profile to comply with updated recommendations calling for more accurate, direct low-density lipoprotein (LDL) measurement unaffected by triglycerides. It is also the only commercially available advanced lipid profile that routinely reports all three lipoprotein parameters considered necessary by the American Diabetes Association and American College of Cardiology expert consensus guidelines. Included in Forbes.com's list of "Ten Ways to Live Longer" and named one of "Five Tests Worth Paying For" by the Wall Street Journal, the VAP Cholesterol Test is available through national and regional diagnostic laboratories.
VAP Cholesterol Blood Test: How It is Done
The VAP Cholesterol Blood Test is a simple test completed by drawing blood from the vein in your arm. If you have any questions about this test or any other lab test we offer, please contact one of our health experts.
Additional VAP Cholesterol Blood Test Information
This expanded cholesterol test provides valuable information that can identify hidden heart disease risks, including inherited risk factors that can lead to premature heart disease. VAP identifies more than 90% of people at risk for cardiovascular disease, compared to 40% for routine cholesterol screenings.
The VAP Cholesterol Blood test measures total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (good) cholesterol (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides. VAP also measures other cholesterol subclasses that play important roles in the development of heart disease. These other subclasses include:
1) Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)
2) Intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL)
3) Lp(a): LDL plus the apo(a) protein
The VAP Cholesterol Blood test measures the following:
- Total cholesterol
- High-density lipoprotein (good) cholesterol (HDL)
- Low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol (LDL)
- Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL)
- Intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL)
- Lp(a) ― LDL plus the apo(a) protein
- Triglycerides
