⭐ Why Choose This Test? This test helps you understand your risk for cardiovascular issues like heart

family history of heart problems. With Afyanilab, you get reliable insights to support better lifestyle
choices and overall wellness.
⭐ What This Test Detects This test measures key markers related to your cholesterol and heart health.
Each is explained below:
 Triglycerides: A type of fat in your blood from excess calories, especially from carbs and fats.
High levels can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke by contributing to artery buildup.
 Cholesterol (Total): A waxy substance your body needs for cell function, produced by your liver
and found in foods like meat and dairy. Too much can lead to coronary artery disease by
clogging arteries.
 HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Known as good cholesterol, it transports excess cholesterol
back to your liver for removal. Higher levels help protect against heart disease.
 LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Called bad cholesterol, it can build up in arteries if levels are
high, raising risks for heart disease and stroke.
Together, these markers provide a clear picture of your cardiovascular risk profile.
