VAP (Vertical Auto Profile) Cholesterol Lipid Profile

The VAP® Cholesterol Test (Vertical Auto Profile) directly measures:

1. LDL
2. HDL
3. Triglyceride
4. Total Cholesterol
5. VLDL
6. Non-HDL cholesterol
7. apB100
8. Lp(a)
9. IDL
10. LDL-R
11. LDL-R Subclass Pattern
12. Remnant Lipoproteins
13. Metabolic Syndrome
14. HDL2
15. HDL3

The VAP® Calculates:
1. Total apoB100
2. Total apoAI
3. apoB100/apoAI Ratio

NOTE: This test can only be done Monday - Friday, No Testing on Saturday.

Description:
The VAP® (Vertical Auto Profile) Test is one of the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol tests available today. It reports 18 separate components of blood cholesterol compared to just four in a standard test.

This comprehensive cholesterol test can identify more lipid abnormalities (which is 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.

Your risk of heart disease and diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments – and the VAP Test provides a large amount of information for your doctor to give an accurate diagnosis.

Why Do I Need It?:
The VAP Cholesterol Test is a test for you if you have:

- A family history of heart disease or cardiac event
- Elevated cholesterol ( Total or LDL) or Low HDL
- Elevated Triglycerides
- Diabetes or family history of diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Thyroid Problems
- Kidney Problems
- Obstructive Liver Disease
- Or if you are taking cholesterol medication or are overweigh.

The VAP cholesterol test can determine if you may have Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for Type II Diabetes or Insulin Resistance
