About the Lipid Profile
A lipid profile measures total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides. Together they estimate the risk of heart disease and stroke. It is one of the most common tests in annual health checkups and for monitoring cholesterol medicines.
Symptoms and situations where this test helps
- Age above 30 or a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
- Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or smoking
- Taking statins or other cholesterol medicines
- Chest discomfort or breathlessness advised by a doctor
Understanding your results
High LDL and triglycerides and low HDL raise the risk of fatty deposits in arteries. Target values depend on your overall risk, so your cardiologist or physician sets your goal. Lifestyle, diet and medicines can improve the numbers.
What your doctor may advise next
Your doctor may advise diet and exercise changes, medicines, or further heart tests such as hs-CRP, Lp(a), ECG or a stress test.
