This evaluation uses advanced lipid biomarkers—ApoB, Lp(a), and hs-CRP—to identify genetic risk, inflammation, and particle-level cholesterol patterns. It offers a clearer, more precise view of cardiovascular risk than routine cholesterol testing.
You’ll complete a focused blood panel measuring ApoB, Lp(a), and hs-CRP. These tests reveal inherited cholesterol disorders, inflammation, and particle-based risk. Dr. Saha interprets each marker personally and explains how they influence your long-term heart health.
Advanced lipid testing detects risks standard cholesterol tests overlook—like elevated ApoB or high Lp(a). This detailed insight allows Dr. Saha to target the true drivers of plaque formation and guide treatment that prevents future heart disease.
Advanced Lipid Testing (ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP)
Testing ApoB, Lp(a), and inflammation markers to uncover early cholesterol-related and genetic risk that standard lipid panels miss.
Ideal for patients with high cholesterol, elevated ApoB, high Lp(a), a family history of early heart disease, or unexplained abnormal lipid results. It’s especially helpful for those who want a clearer, more accurate picture of their cardiovascular risk.
You’ll complete a simple blood draw that measures ApoB, Lp(a), and hs-CRP. The test is quick and minimally invasive. Dr. Saha reviews your results directly and provides a clear plan to address any elevated levels or genetic markers.
ApoB and Lp(a) are powerful predictors of heart attack and stroke. By identifying these risks early, Dr. Saha can guide precise treatment—reducing inflammation, lowering cholesterol particle burden, and preventing plaque before it develops.
This evaluation involves a standard blood draw with minimal risk. Let us know if you tend to feel faint during labs. You may be asked to fast for accurate results. The benefits of early detection far outweigh the minimal preparation required.
Once your results are reviewed, Dr. Saha will explain any elevated ApoB, Lp(a), or hs-CRP levels and outline what they mean for your long-term risk. You’ll receive a personalized prevention plan with clear next steps to optimize your cardiovascular health.
