Is the first comprehensive lipid profile to comply with guidelines (NCEP/ATP III, AACE, and ADA/ACC) Guidelines recommend a comprehensive approach to risk stratification1-3 Is the test of choice for accurate, global cardiometabolic risk stratification and management Provides comprehensive lipid analysis Simultaneously and accurately measures cholesterol concentrations of all 5 lipoprotein classes and their subclasses in a non-fasting patient4 Clarifies risk and drives a personalized treatment approach based on 3 categories of residual cardiometabolic risk Cholesterol - Directly measures LDL and HDL, providing accurate results in a non-fasting patient. Also measures subclasses including apoB, which reflects atherogenic load. Triglycerides - Identifies triglyceride-rich disorders, including non-HDL, even in patients with seemingly normal triglyceride levels. Heredity - Identifies Lp(a), a hereditary marker of risk.
