I have devoted quite a bit of my time delving into this topic of cholestetol, CHD & CVD because it is still the #1 killer in America.
Interestingly, some people who have "high cholesterol" have little to no arterial plaque buildup and dome people with "normal cholesterol" levels have lots if it.
I think the only clear way to assess one's risk is to get a calcium score test which measures your plaque buildup in you arteries.
If you are concerned about low HDL, then I would try improving that number through diet & cardio.
Feel free to ask any other questions, I would be happy to help however I can.
thank you i really appreciate it! ive seen VAP test mentioned before by shelby. would this be the most important test to see where your at so to speak, or the calcium score test you mentioned above?
i dont have insurance so the best i can do is a standard blood panel from my doc but ill pay $70 that isnt bad at all
