Extended Lipids Panel includes a Apolipoprotein A-1, Apolipoprotein B, Lipoprotein (a) & LP-PLA2 (PLAC) Activity.

Advanced Heart Health Markers – Extended Lipids Panel

When it comes to heart health, standard cholesterol tests only tell part of the story. At Desert Mobile Medical, we offer a deeper look with Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Markers, including:

Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A1), Apolipoprotein B (Apo B), Lipoprotein(a), and LP-PLA2 (PLAC) Activity are specialized blood tests that go beyond traditional cholesterol panels to provide deeper insight into your cardiovascular risk.

• Apo A1 is the main protein in HDL (“good” cholesterol) and helps remove cholesterol from your arteries — higher levels are generally protective.

• Apo B is found in LDL and other “bad” cholesterol particles — elevated levels are linked to plaque buildup and increased heart disease risk.

• Lipoprotein(a) is a genetically influenced particle similar to LDL that can promote atherosclerosis and is often not affected by lifestyle or standard cholesterol medications.

• LP-PLA2 (PLAC) Activity measures arterial inflammation and is a strong marker for hidden vascular disease and stroke risk.

Together, these markers help personalize your cardiovascular care and may catch risks that standard lipid panels miss.
