Because LDL Particles Cause Plaque
The NMR LipoProfile test—The Particle
Test— is more than a cholesterol test. It
measures the number of LDL Particles in
the blood. Having a high number of LDL
particles is bad because they carry and
deposit cholesterol into the wall of the
arteries to form plaque - 'atherosclerosis'
(also sometimes called 'athero' or
'hardening of the arteries').

Plaque Progression: More LDL Particles = More Plaque The higher the number of LDL Particles, the greater the likelihood for them to enter the arterial Measurement of LDL-C on traditional lipid panels does not reflect the LDL particle number. |

The NMR LipoProfile test—The Particle Test— is more than a cholesterol test. It measures the number of LDL Particles in blood to get a more complete picture of cardiovascular risk for personalized LDL management. |
