Cholesterol Test

A Cholesterol Test, or lipid panel, is a vital blood test measuring cholesterol and triglyceride levels in your blood. It's fundamental for assessing cardiovascular disease risk (heart attack, stroke). Cholesterol is essential for cell health, but high levels of certain types contribute to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) in arteries, narrowing them and impeding blood flow. The test measures: Total Cholesterol; LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol), a primary contributor to plaque; HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol ("good" cholesterol), which removes excess cholesterol; and Triglycerides, fats used for energy. High levels of LDL or triglycerides, or low HDL, increase heart disease risk. The test usually requires 9-12 hours fasting. Blood is drawn from a vein. Frequency varies by age and risk factors (e.g., family history, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking). Regular testing helps manage heart health by guiding lifestyle changes and, if needed, medication, crucial for preventing serious heart-related complications and promoting long-term well-being.
