Cholesterol Panel

The standard cholesterol panel — total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides — and the core of your heart-disease risk. One draw, results usually in 1–2 business days.

Cholesterol and triglycerides are fats that circulate in your blood. The right balance keeps your arteries clear; the wrong one quietly raises your risk of heart attack and stroke. A lipid panel is the standard, foundational test doctors use to gauge cardiovascular risk.
