Lipid Profile

The lipid profile is used as part of a cardiac risk assessment to help determine an individual’s risk of heart disease and to help make decisions about what treatment may be best if there is borderline or high risk.

In general, healthy lipid levels help to maintain a healthy heart and lower the risk of heart attack or stroke. A health practitioner will take into consideration the results of each component of a lipid profile plus other risk factors to help determine a person’s overall risk of coronary heart disease, whether treatment is necessary and, if so, which treatment will best help to lower the person’s risk of heart disease.
