LDL Particle Size Test in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Same day and Affordable LDL Particle Size Test, Locations Nationwide

Need a more advanced diagnostic test to learn more about your heart? Request A Test offers a convenient and affordable LDL Particle Size Test in Oklahoma City, OK. LDL Particle Number and size can help assess a person's risk for heart disease.  LDL, often known as the bad cholesterol, carries cholesterol through the blood stream and smaller denser LDL particles have a greater tendency to build up along arterial walls and form harmful plaque. Plaque buildup increases the risk of blood clots and heart attacks. In some people, Particle Size can be a greater indicator of risk for hearts disease than cholesterol levels.

We offer four blood tests that provide particle size information for LDL and other Lipoprotein Subractions. The NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) LipoProfile is a cholesterol test which provides more information than a standard Lipid Panel. This test includes measurements for Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, Lipoprotein Particle Number and Size, Lipoprotein Subfractions and Insulin Markers (Insulin Resistance Score). The NMR LipoProfile with Insulin Markers Test includes a comprehensive Insulin Resistance Score. This test measures the 6 components which are used to calculate the IR score.

For a more detailed analysis of the Lipoprotein particle size, number and pattern, we offer the Cardio IQ Lipoprotein Fractionation and the Cardio IQ Lipoprotein Subfractionation tests. The Subfractionation test is the most comprehensive.

These tests are helpful for people who have a family history for heart attack or stroke or are taking medication to manage cholesterol. They are also ordered for people who have suffered a cardiac event but have normal cholesterol levels to help determine if another factor may be the cause.
