Advanced Lipid Panel Metrics

Meaning

This refers to a comprehensive set of laboratory measurements extending beyond the standard cholesterol panel (Total, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides) to provide a more detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk. These metrics quantify lipoprotein particle number and size, which often offer superior predictive value for cardiometabolic disease compared to cholesterol mass alone. Clinically, these advanced metrics help in precise risk stratification and the design of personalized therapeutic interventions.
