Did you know that high blood sugar increases the negative effects of cholesterol?

According to Life Extension Magazine:

In order to reduce risk, there must be a systematic approach and understanding of the multiple factors of cardiovascular risk and atherosclerosis. Optimal cholesterol management is important for risk reduction, but so are the multiple risk factors that Life Extension has long identified. Accordingly, efforts to lower cholesterol to mitigate cardiovascular risk will only be met with optimal success if paired with measures to reduce other risk factors such as inflammation, oxidation, hypertension, excess plasma glucose, excess body weight, fibrinogen, excess homocysteine, low vitamin K, insufficient vitamin D, hormone imbalance; etc. Mainstream medicine is quick to point out that 10-15% of patients with coronary heart disease have no apparent major risk factors

 The 17 Daggers of Arterial Disease graphic has been published in Life Extension Magazine and illustrates the risk factors that Life Extension has identified as being critical to address in order to maintain optimal vascular health.

The chart below is the traditional cholesterol testing versus the much more informative VAP cholesterol test. Be sure to ask your doctor for the VAP test. 

VERTICAL AUTO PROFILE (VAP)	CLASSIC LIPID PANEL
Directly measures LDL {more accurate assessment of LDL and therefore more prognostic of risk for heart disease}	Estimates LDL using a calculation Calculated levels lose accuracy when triglycerides are very high (> 400 mg/dL)
Measures ApoB-100, which is a direct indication of LDL particle number {more particles are associated with higher atherogenic risk}	Not included
Measures Lp(a) {some evidence suggests that Lp(a) is more atherogenic than LDL}	Not included
Identifies LDL density pattern {a small, dense pattern is more atherogenic (Pattern B); a large buoyant pattern is less atherogenic (Pattern A)}	Not included
Specifies lipoprotein subclass levels {some subclasses of lipoproteins are more atherogenic than others}
