Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death for heart attacks and strokes, in asymptomatic people. Risk factors including age, smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol are used by physicians to identify individuals likely to have an ischemic event & to evaluate cardiovascular risk. The test measures the Cholesterol and Triglyceride levels.

A cholesterol and triglycerides serum test is particularly important to keep a check on cardiovascular diseases.

When you eat, your body turns any calories that aren't immediately used into triglycerides. Triglycerides are accumulated in the fat cells of your body. Hormones then release triglycerides for energy between meals.

If you consume high-carbohydrate diets regularly, your triglyceride levels may be high, which results in a condition known as hypertriglyceridemia. On the other hand, if you have a high level of LDL or bad cholesterol in the body, it results in a condition known as hypercholesterolemia. This causes fats to collect around your arteries and puts you at a higher risk for heart strokes.

Frequently asked questions

Lipid profile is basically done to assess the status of the blood vessels of the heart and the risk of cardiac diseases. Test measures lipid in the blood to assess patients risk to an cardiovascular event. The cholesterol and the triglyceride levels are measured to know the status of the blood vessels and the risk of cardiac diseases, stroke, and peripheral vascular diseases.

A lipid profile test determines the risk of cardiac diseases, stroke, and other artery-related illnesses. It may also be performed to evaluate heart problems and therapies for heart disease prevention.

Tests for triglycerides and total cholesterol are typically performed in the lipid profile. It assesses the amount of fat in your blood. You may be more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke in case of abnormal levels of both cholesterol and triglycerides.

The test measures the Cholesterol and the Triglyceride levels.

This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.

While performing the test, a medical professional will use a small needle to collect blood from your arm. Following the insertion of the needle, a little blood sample will be collected in a medical vial. You may feel slight discomfort when the medical professional puts the needle in or takes it out of your arm. The entire process normally takes under five minutes.

Before your blood is obtained, you may need to fast (refrain from eating or drinking) for 10 to 12 hours. Your medical professional will inform you about any additional instructions to follow.

Maintaining lipid levels within the desirable ranges helps lower risk of heart attacks and stoke. Low HDL levels (below acceptable levels) are associated with increased risk for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) . High levels of Non HDL Cholesterol (above acceptable levels) are associated with increased risk for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). High triglycerides levels lead to risk of atherosclerosis and clogging of blood vessels, impairing the blood flow to the heart and other vital organs.

Low cholesterol levels (below tolerable limits) and High Cholesterol levels (above permissible ranges) are both linked to an increased risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) or heart attacks.

High triglyceride levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis and blood vessel blockage, reducing blood flow to the heart and other important organs.
