Interpreting Advanced Cardiac Risk Markers results

Interpretations

Lipoprotein (a) helps to determine the risk of heart disease in patients with family history of premature CHD or Stroke, Hypertension, Cigarette smoking, Obesity, Diabetes mellitus, increased levels of LDL and decreased levels of HDL.
High levels of Lp(a) increase risk of heart disease by 2-3 times of normal.

Apolipoprotein A1 is the primary protein associated with HDL Cholesterol. It shows a protective function against heart disease. Increased levels are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.

Apolipoprotein B is the primary protein associated with LDL Cholesterol and plaque formation. Increased levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease.

The ratio of these two correlates with the risk of cardiovascular disease.
