This "Extended Lipid Panel" quantifies the components of a typical lipid panel (TC, HDL-C and TG) along with ApoB by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy using the Vantera NMR Clinical Analyzer. Results from the Extended Lipid Panel Assay can be used by physicians to assist in CVD risk assessment. The principal protein component of LDL particles, ApoB, has been shown to be associated with CVD and is also an important CVD risk factor.

    what is Lipid Panel With Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and why is it important?

    This "Extended Lipid Panel" quantifies the components of a typical lipid panel (TC, HDL-C and TG) along with ApoB by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy using the Vantera NMR Clinical Analyzer. Results from the Extended Lipid Panel Assay can be used by physicians to assist in CVD risk assessment. The principal protein component of LDL particles, ApoB, has been shown to be associated with CVD and is also an important CVD risk factor.

    When to Consider a Lipid Panel With ApoB Test

    • As part of a routine health check-up, especially if you have risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity.
    • If a standard lipid panel has shown borderline or concerning results, the inclusion of ApoB can offer more precise insights into your cardiovascular risk.
    • If you have a strong family history of heart disease, particularly if early-onset heart conditions are present in your relatives.
    • When recommended by your healthcare provider to gain a more detailed picture of your cholesterol metabolism and overall cardiovascular risk.
    • To help monitor and optimize your treatment plan if you are managing existing cardiovascular conditions, in conjunction with other clinical assessments.

    Who Benefits from the Lipid Panel With ApoB Test

    • Individuals concerned about their cardiovascular risk, particularly if there's a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or early heart events.
    • Those seeking a more comprehensive cholesterol assessment beyond the standard lipid panel, for a deeper insight into heart health markers.
    • People monitoring their cholesterol levels to track the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or therapies in managing cholesterol and related markers.
    • Anyone looking for a proactive approach to their long-term heart health, as understanding ApoB levels can provide additional clarity on your risk profile.

    Commonly Used For Diagnosis Of

    Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Assessment

    This test is highly valuable for a more precise assessment of an individual's risk for heart attacks, strokes, and other ASCVD events. ApoB levels directly reflect the total number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles, which are the primary drivers of plaque buildup in arteries, even when standard LDL-C levels appear normal.

    Dyslipidemia Management

    It aids in identifying and managing various forms of dyslipidemia, particularly in cases where traditional lipid parameters like LDL cholesterol might not fully capture the cardiovascular risk. This includes individuals with high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, or small, dense LDL particles, where ApoB often provides a clearer picture of lipid-related risk.

    Monitoring Lipid-Lowering Therapy Effectiveness

    The ApoB measurement is an excellent marker for monitoring the efficacy of lifestyle interventions and pharmacological therapies, including statins and newer non-statin drugs, in reducing the burden of atherogenic particles and overall cardiovascular risk.

    Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes

    Individuals with metabolic syndrome or Type 2 diabetes often exhibit a highly atherogenic lipid profile characterized by elevated triglycerides, low HDL, and an increased concentration of small, dense LDL particles. ApoB provides a robust measure of this specific pattern of dyslipidemia, guiding targeted management strategies.

    Familial Hypercholesterolemia and Other Genetic Lipid Disorders

    For patients with a family history of early heart disease or suspected genetic lipid disorders, the Lipid Panel With ApoB can offer a more in-depth understanding of their inherited cardiovascular risk factors.

    Caution

    Important Considerations

    It is important to discuss your test results with a healthcare provider who can interpret them in the context of your overall health, medical history, and other risk factors. This test is for informational purposes only and does not replace a professional medical diagnosis or treatment plan.
