About Lipid Profile

A Lipid Profile is a crucial blood test that measures the levels of specific fats, or lipids, in your bloodstream. Performed by a cardiologist, this test is a cornerstone of cardiovascular health assessment. It typically quantifies total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or 'bad' cholesterol), high-density lipoprotein (HDL or 'good' cholesterol), and triglycerides. By analyzing these levels, your cardiologist can evaluate your risk for developing atherosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke. This simple, routine test provides essential data to guide personalized treatment plans, including lifestyle modifications or medication, to manage cholesterol and protect your long-term heart health.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
