The VAP® Cholesterol Test

Posted on May 18, 2009

The VAP® Cholesterol Test Now Available at local labs.

The VAP Cholesterol Test is an expanded cholesterol profile that identifies a greater number of people at risk and is the first cholesterol test to directly measure LDL.

The comprehensive VAP Cholesterol Test is based on ultracentrifugation, the “gold standard” method of measuring cholesterol. Through this process, the VAP Test gives customers and their doctor’s comprehensive information on the treatment and management of cardiovascular conditions. The test, which doesn’t require fasting, provides direct measurements of LDL, HDL and all relevant subclasses, and includes non-HDL, a highly accurate determination of apoB, and emerging risk factors such as Lp(a), remnants and small dense LDL.
