Episode 148 - Important Heart Disease Blood Tests!

Get your pen and paper out! Here are a few important blood tests to take to your doctor or a local walk-in lab. 

The mainstream medical community emphasizes total cholesterol and total LDL cholesterol readings, and dispenses a prescription statin without digging deeper. An overreliance on this single metric misses the true complexity of heart disease. A better assessment looks at the big picture and includes a range of different tests, such as the following:

 - Triglycerides to HDL ratio

 - Blood Pressure

 - Vitamin D

 - Fasting Blood Insulin

 - HbA1C

 - Triglycerides 

 - Hs-CRP

 - Homocysteine

 - ApoB

 - LDL particle size / advanced lipid profile testing

 - Coronary calcium testing

Hope this helps give you an idea of some other important tests to get a true status of your health and heart disease risk. Make sure to test, not guess!

Have a great day!
