LiveFAQ: NMR LipoProfile® with Craig Brandman and Dr. James Underberg
Channel: The Science Of You
Date: 17/09/2013

Dr. James Underberg joins StepOne Health, CEO, Craig Brandman  to discuss a diagnostic test that can help you and your doctor manage your heart health.   Relying on cholesterol alone may not be enough to know your risk for heart disease.   A complete picture of heart health includes looking at LDL particles, which are containers that carry and deposit cholesterol in your arteries. Once cholesterol has been deposited in the arteries, it forms plaque buildup, which may cause a heart attack or stroke. 

Knowing the number of LDL particles, or LDL-P, provided by the NMR LipoProfile® test, can help you and your physician to determine treatment strategies to lower you risk for heart disease. 

Here are the FAQ we covered: 
What is the NMR LipoProfile test? 
What is cholesterol?
What is LDL-P?
How often does LDL-P and Cholesterol disagree?
My cholesterol numbers have always been in the normal range, would my LDL-P levels be in the normal range as well?
How is LDL-P measured? 
How does LDL-P by NMR differ from the lipid panel?
Why check my LDL-Particle Number?
How should I prepare for the Particle test (LDL-P)?
How can I lower my LDL-P Particle Number?
When should I get tested for LDL-P?
How often should I check my LDL-P levels?
How long will it take to see an improvement in my LDL-P levels
