Is The VAP
Cholesterol Test For You? |
| Why You
Need VAP Cholesterol Test? Getting "normal" results back from a conventional cholesterol test doesn't mean one is safe from heart disease. The VAP Test provides valuable information that can identify hidden heart disease risks. It breaks down cholesterol beyond HDL (high-density lipoprotein, the "good" cholesterol), LDL (low-density lipoprotein, the "bad" cholesterol), and triglycerides—providing new information that can help your doctor better assess and manage your heart disease risk. VAP Tests also help identify the metabolic syndrome-which leads to diabetes and heart disease, and affects a staggering 55 million Americans The VAP® Cholesterol Test (Vertical Auto Profile) Measures: 1.

| What Is
Direct Measured LDL? Conventional cholesterol tests calculate your LDL levels, they don't measure your LDL levels. One of the key benefits of the VAP Technology is a direct-measured LDL. The routine cholesterol panel, which calculates LDL using the Friedewald formula, provides only a 40% predictive value for coronary heart disease. In contrast, VAP Tests, which directly measure LDL, identify more than 90% of patients at risk for heart disease. Based on concerns about the reliability of calculated LDL, the NCEP ATP III guidelines recommend direct LDL measurement methods unaffected by triglycerides and patient fasting. In fact, calculated LDL is significantly inaccurate in patients with heart disease or the equivalent (LDL goal <70-100 mg/dL). Calculated LDL also fails to accurately classify risk for those who most need it-patients with triglycerides >200 mg/dL |
