Description:
Heart health is crucial, and today, we're diving into one of the most essential tests for understanding your heart's well-being: the NMR Test. Let's break down what you need to know:
- Why Choose the NMR Test:
- The test measures the quantity of bad LDL particles in your system.
- Total LDL cholesterol alone doesn't predict cardiovascular risk accurately. The number of these LDL particles does.
- Understanding the Test Results:
- On the test, you'll spot a few arrows pointing to numbers:
- Red Arrow (Left side): Indicates how many bad LDL particles you have. For instance, my client's result showed 3500, which is extremely high. It's the maximum this test can even display.
- Red Circle (Right side): Reinforces the concerning level of LDL particles.
- Green Arrow: Represents the desired number. Ideally, you want 1,000 or fewer of these LDL particles. The lesser you have, the lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
- LDL Particle Number (Leftmost section): This tells us about the quantity of these LDL particles floating in your blood.
- On the test, you'll spot a few arrows pointing to numbers:
- Why It Matters:
- The smaller and more numerous these LDL particles are in your bloodstream, the higher your chances of developing cardiovascular diseases.
