The VAP Test provides all the information found in a routine lipid panel, plus measurements of all known cholesterol subclasses that play important roles in the development of CAD. The additional information provided by the VAP Test improves the ability to predict heart disease risk to more than 90%. It also directly measures LDL cholesterol. In contrast, the routine cholesterol test detects only about 40% of people at risk. The VAP Test also measures LDL densityimportant because patients with small, dense LDL have a four-fold increased risk of developing heart disease.
