The VAP® Cholesterol Test

The most comprehensive cholesterol test yet

This test was developed by Atherotech, a cardiodiagnostic company. It provides physicians with the direct measurement of LDL, HDL and all relevant subclasses and emerging risk factors.

This test can identify a far greater number of lipid abnormalities than the standard test.

Risks of both heart disease and diabetes can be reduced with the right preventive measures,which is why more accurate diagnosis is critical for the patient.

Overall the VAP® test identifies twice as many people at risk of cardiovascular disease than the currently available routine test.
