About Lipid Testing

Know Your Heart Risk

High cholesterol has no symptoms but dramatically increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Our comprehensive lipid profile measures all key cholesterol fractions and calculates your cardiac risk ratios — giving you a complete picture of your cardiovascular health.

❤️
Complete Lipid Panel
Total Cholesterol, LDL-C ("bad" cholesterol), HDL-C ("good" cholesterol), Triglycerides, VLDL, Non-HDL Cholesterol.
📐
Cardiac Risk Ratios
Cholesterol/HDL ratio, LDL/HDL ratio, Triglyceride/HDL ratio — stronger predictors of heart attack risk than single numbers.
🩺
ASCVD Risk Assessment
We combine your lipid results with age, blood pressure, and diabetes status to calculate 10-year heart attack/stroke risk.
When to Test

Five Signs You Need Lipid Testing

01
Age 40+ (Men) or 50+ (Women)
Routine screening recommended every 4–6 years for all adults. Earlier if risk factors present.
02
Family History of Heart Disease
If a parent or sibling had early heart attack (men under 55, women under 65), test earlier and more frequently.
03
High Blood Pressure or Diabetes
Both conditions accelerate atherosclerosis. Annual lipid testing is essential for management.
04
Overweight or Sedentary Lifestyle
Obesity and physical inactivity are major contributors to dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome.
05
On Cholesterol Medication
Monitor treatment response (statins, fibrates) to ensure LDL targets are achieved.
Optimal Lipid Reference Ranges
Total Cholesterol
<200 mg/dL
LDL (Bad)
<100 mg/dL
HDL (Good)
≥40 (M) / ≥50 (F)
Triglycerides
<150 mg/dL
Chol/HDL Ratio
<3.5 (optimal)

⚕️ Targets are stricter for patients with diabetes, known heart disease, or very high risk. We provide personalised goal setting.
