This test measures the levels of different types of apolipoproteins, which are proteins that combine with cholesterol and triglycerides to form lipoproteins. These lipoproteins carry fats through your bloodstream, and measuring the apolipoproteins can help assess your risk for heart disease. It provides a more detailed look at your lipid profile than a standard cholesterol test.

Why To Buy

This Apolipoprotein Assessment can help identify potential heart disease risks or metabolic issues contributing to your symptoms. By measuring specific proteins related to cholesterol, it provides a clearer picture of your cardiovascular health than standard cholesterol tests alone. Understanding these levels is crucial for finding the underlying cause of symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Chest pain: This test helps assess proteins linked to cholesterol which can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, potentially causing chest pain.
  • Fatigue: Abnormal lipid profiles can contribute to fatigue, and this test provides a detailed look at the proteins involved.
  • Muscle weakness: Certain lipid abnormalities or related conditions can sometimes manifest as muscle weakness, which this test can help investigate.
  • Numbness: Poor circulation related to lipid issues can cause numbness, and this test provides insights into your cardiovascular health.
  • Shortness of breath: Heart conditions related to cholesterol imbalances can cause shortness of breath, which this test can help evaluate.
  • Tingling: Circulation problems linked to lipid issues may cause tingling, and this test assesses relevant cardiovascular markers.
