Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Assay for Cardiac
Disease Risk
Heart attacks often occur in people whose total
cholesterol indicate only moderate risk. A procedure licensed exclusively
by Berkeley HeartLab shows a key detail of the cholesterol level:an
LDL profile that is found in 40-50% of patients who suffer early
heart disease. Individuals with this profile respond well, when
identified early, to dietary and drug treatment interventions. Individuals
identified with other LDL profiles are offered different treatment
strategies. Berkeley
HeartLab continues to collaborate with Berkeley Lab on refinements
of this procedure. For a more detailed story, click
