High cholesterol can stem from various factors
like diet, inactivity, obesity, smoking, excessive alcohol, genetics, diabetes,
thyroid and kidney issues, age, and gender. Identifying these risks is crucial
for prevention. The Small Dense LDL Cholesterol Test measures small, dense LDL
cholesterol particles in the blood. Although symptoms aren’t directly
noticeable, elevated levels elevate cardiovascular disease risk. This test
informs cardiovascular health assessment, aiding in prevention and treatment strategies
for heart attacks and strokes.
