Patent ID: 7647234

Claim:
A cardiovascular healthcare management system comprising: (a) an infomediary site having databases for cardiovascular healthcare management which includes a database of test results of concentration of subclasses of LDL particles and subclasses of HDL particles from at least 900 cardiovascular patients; (b) a data entry interface for receiving patient personal data and test results for concentration of subclasses of LDL particles and subclasses of HDL particles storing the data and results in the infomediary site databases; (c) a diagnostic engine comprising algorithms stored on a computer-readable medium and executed by a microprocessor for analyzing patient test results for subclasses of LDL particles, subclasses of HDL particles data and identifying patients who do not have hyperlipidemia based on total LDL cholesterol and total HDL cholesterol, but are in need of treatment; and (d) wherein the subclasses of LDL particles and subclasses of HDL particles are levels determined by segmented gradient gel electrophoresis and wherein the particle sub-classes include HDL 2b.
