62+ booked in last 3 daysLipid Profile - Maxi Overview
Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death for heart attacks and strokes, in asymptomatic people. An excess of lipids, i.e. cholesterol and triglycerides, in the body can result in buildup in the arteries and blood vessels and may increase the possibility of heart problems. An unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle often lead to a build-up of lipids in the blood. People who are obese or have diabetes and/or hypertension are more at risk of developing the condition. Thus, it is important to regularly monitor your lipid profile under the guidance of a medical practitioner. Risk factors including age, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, and tryglycerides are used by physicians to identify individuals likely to have an ischemic event & to evaluate cardiovascular risk. The Lipid Profile - Maxi test measures the following components:
- Total cholesterol: This determines the body's overall cholesterol, which is the combination of LDL-C, HDL-C, and VLDL-C.
- LDL cholesterol: This type of cholesterol is bad. It can accumulate in the blood vessels and enhance the risk of heart problems
- VLDL cholesterol: This type of cholesterol is low in amount when a fasting sample is taken from the blood sample. It usually comes from the food we have recently eaten. But increased cholesterol in the fasting sample is a sign of abnormal lipid metabolism.
- HDL cholesterol: This cholesterol is good as it helps reduce LDL buildup in blood vessels.
- Triglycerides: This is the fat which we get from our food. An increase in triglycerides in our bodies can lead to cardiovascular problems.
- Lp(a): A lipoprotein particle that carries cholesterol in the blood. High levels may increase risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Apolipoproteins B/A Ratio: Ratio of two proteins that carry cholesterol; indicates risk of heart disease based on LDL (bad) to HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
