[QUOTE="mcs, post: 212720, member: 12"] Not surprised either. I have found that even the "best" non-research cardiologists while great at disease intervention management, are way behind when it comes to disease prevention, continuing to practice obsolete science from when they were in med school. The standard tests can be entirely misleading, giving one a false sense of security - or the opposite, all depending on the LDL subfractions, Lp(a) levels, etc. relevant data, none of which are reflected in standard panels. For example, I just had recently updated 2 lipid tests both drawn at same day/time:[URL='https://app.box.com/s/ipxxhcmkkrrb24ak4inmas9pqwf2iwld'] STANDARD PANEL[/URL] and the [URL='https://app.box.com/s/tfny6x9s9oougga2lpeagajarcjh1mb6']ADVANCED PANEL 1 (with ref ranges)[/URL]. As you can see, I look ok (other than low HDL) on my standard whereas on my advanced, I have elevated LDL particle and size as well as elevated Lp(a), CRP, APO-B, all markers of CAD risk. The only markers of relevance on a standard test are HDL and trigs. One's lipid status should never be judged on such misleading conventional measures as LDL or total cholesterol. [/QUOTE]
