Why this panel

Standard cholesterol testing misses the clotting and endothelial side of cardiovascular risk entirely. These are the markers that explain events in people whose lipids looked acceptable.

💡 What most people missRoughly half of heart attacks happen in people whose standard cholesterol was normal, and this panel covers a large part of why. Lp(a) is genetically set, barely responds to diet or statins, and is carried by a substantial minority of people — yet almost nobody has ever had it measured. It needs testing exactly once. ADMA/SDMA measure endothelial dysfunction, which precedes plaque by years. TMAO is produced by gut bacteria from red meat and eggs and links the microbiome to arterial risk. And for anyone on testosterone or oestrogen, clotting markers aren't academic — both raise thrombotic risk through different mechanisms.

⏰ When to get it drawnFast 9–12 hours. Do not test D-dimer or troponin during or shortly after an acute illness, injury or hard training — both rise non-specifically and will scare you for no reason.
