Up to 50% of heart attacks occur in people with "normal" LDL cholesterol levels. This is because not only the amount of cholesterol matters, but also the number and size of lipoprotein particles.
A high number of small, dense LDL particles can triple the risk of cardiovascular disease, even when LDL-C levels appear healthy. Liposcale is an advanced test that uses Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to deeply analyze your lipid profile.
It evaluates the size, lipid concentration (cholesterol and triglycerides), and the number of particles in the main classes of lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, and HDL.
