Laboratory assay overview
The 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults recommend matching the intensity of statin treatment with the absolute risk of cardiovascular events. However, the standard lipid panel alone does not provide a complete assessment of absolute risk of CVD. Adding advanced CVD markers (ion mobility, apob, lp(a), hs crp and lppla2) in addition to the lipid panel will improve assessment of the CVD risk.
