Triglycerides are molecules that are needed for the body to function normally. An increased level of triglycerides, however, is considered a risk factor for both heart disease and diabetes.

The ‘advanced’ VAP Cholesterol Test
VLDL stands for ‘very low density lipoprotein’ and functions to carry the triglycerides in the body. It is made up of three types, VLDL1, VLDL2 and VLDL3. VLDL1 and VLDL2 are buoyant and pose less risk to the person. VLDL3 is dense and is considered a risk factor for heart disease.
Elevated LDL-R may be modified by lifestyle changes such as low fat, low cholesterol diet and exercise. If those lifestyle changes are not effective, it may be receptive to drug therapy.
VAP is the name given to the test that measures the LDL directly, rather than calculate it. Standing for Vertical Auto Profile, this test also measures the size and density of the body’s cholesterol and is a tool to more specifically diagnose and treat cholesterol.
This measurement is a combination of LDL and VLDL cholesterol. The value of this result is considered to predict heart disease more than the LDL alone.
LDL is broken down into Real LDL, Lp(a) and IDL. Real LDL measures the cholesterol actually circulating in your body. LDL also has a pattern of size and density. Pattern A are large and buoyant. These are good and mean the person has less risk for heart disease. Pattern B are small and dense and are associated with increased risk for heart disease.
LDL-R is broken down into two pattern types by size and density (Pattern A and B)
LDL Patterns [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if dense and small, may be receptive to weight loss. Fish oils may be beneficial.
In sum
Non-HDL Cholesterol
LDL is broken down into three categories (Lp(a), IDL, and LDL-R)
Elevated VLDL and Triglycerides may be receptive to low carbohydrate diet and exercise. Fish oils may be beneficial.
Elevated IDL may be receptive to low carbohydrate diet and exercise.
HDL is broken down into two types by size and density (HDL 2 and HDL 3)
The basic cholesterol test (called a Lipid Panel) measures LDL, HDL [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and triglycerides. LDL stands for Low Density Lipoprotein and is termed the “bad” type of cholesterol and is the primary cause of heart disease. In the basic cholesterol test [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this LDL measurement is calculated, rather than directly measured.
Lp(a) has been termed the “heart attack” cholesterol and is an inherited risk factor for heart disease that does not respond to lifestyle changes or drug therapy. IDL (intermediate density lipoprotein) is also an inherited risk factor, especially in those people with a family history of diabetes.
Low HDL 2 may be improved with aerobic exercise.
Elevated Lp(a) is not receptive to lifestyle changes since it is hereditary. Drug therapy may be indicated.
VLDL is broken down into two types (VLDL 1,2 and VLDL3)
The HDL stands for High Density Lipoprotein and is termed the “good” cholesterol. A person with low levels of “good” cholesterol are at increased risk for heart disease.
Understanding LDL
The HDL measurement is made up of two types of HDL, called HDL2 and HDL3. HDL2 is the best type of cholesterol because it is large and buoyant. A person wants this type of cholesterol because it helps to protect the body from heart disease. HDL3 is small and dense cholesterol and is not protective to the body.
