Nearly half of all heart attack patients have cholesterol levels considered “normal” by standard tests. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore the limitations of traditional cholesterol panels and how advanced lipid testing uncovers hidden cardiovascular risks long before symptoms appear.

We break down the power of markers like LDL particle number (LDL-P), apolipoprotein B (ApoB), small dense LDL, and lipoprotein(a)—plus inflammatory markers that reveal whether arterial plaques are stable or primed to rupture. You’ll learn why these tests are stronger predictors of heart disease than LDL-C alone, and how they can personalize your prevention strategy.

From targeted dietary changes and exercise protocols to anti-inflammatory lifestyle shifts and precision medication use, advanced testing moves prevention from generic advice to data-driven action. If you have a family history of early heart disease, insulin resistance, or unexplained risk factors, this episode could be your wake-up call.
