Through a partnership with Dr. Gabe Mirkin, author of the best selling book "The Healthy Heart Miracle," HealthCheckUSA has customized this panel. This test measures:
· Total cholesterol ― Less than 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) is desirable; 240 mg/dL and above is considered high.
· High-density lipoprotein (good) cholesterol (HDL) ― above 60 mg/dL is beneficial; a level less than 40 mg/dL is too low.
· Low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol (LDL) ― Less than 100 mg/dL is desirable; you should be at that level or less if you have heart disease.
· LP(a) lipoprotein ― High levels can increase your risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
· Triglycerides ― Triglycerides are a form of fat in your blood. Normal levels are less than 150 mg/dL
· Highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) ― It measures inflammation, which can be a sign of heart disease.
· Homocysteine ― High levels of this amino acid may damage the lining of arteries. It may also cause changes in your cholesterol and blood that can cause blockages in your arteries.
· Hemoglobin HbA1c ― This measures your average blood sugar level during the past two or three months.
