Heart & Cardiometabolic Panels

# Cholesterol Isn't the Whole Story

See lipids in context with inflammation and metabolic patterns to understand your full baseline.

Comprehensive panels (not a single-marker cholesterol test).

## Why One Heart Number Can Mislead

Standard lipid numbers are useful, but they are only one slice of risk context.

Inflammation indices and metabolic patterns can change how lipid numbers should be interpreted.

A panel helps you see connected signals across systems, not isolated flags.

## Connected Context Examples

- Lipids + ApoB context -> particle risk framing (educational)
- Inflammation indices + insulin patterns -> driver context beyond “normal” cholesterol
- Thyroid + nutrient context -> supporting signals that affect cardiometabolic patterns

## What We Measure (And Why)

Marker availability varies by panel tier. All panels include biological age.

### Lipids + Particle Context

- Lipid panel
- ApoB (Advanced+)
- Lp(a) (Max)

Adds context beyond total cholesterol alone.

### Inflammation + Immune

- hs-CRP
- ESR
- Ratio indices (panel-dependent)

Inflammation can reshape cardiometabolic interpretation.

### Metabolism + Insulin

- Glucose
- A1c
- Insulin patterns (Advanced+)

Insulin resistance often co-moves with heart risk markers.

### Thyroid + Liver

- TSH
- Liver enzymes (panel-dependent)

Contextual signals that influence lipid metabolism.

## See the Pattern, Not the Noise

You get a 90-page report designed to connect biomarkers across systems.

This is educational context to help you understand what to look at next.

- Cross-system pattern interpretation
- Next focus areas (educational)
- Track changes over time

## Choose Depth Based on the Question You’re Asking

## FAQs

Do I need to fast?

A 10-hour fast is commonly recommended for metabolic markers. Follow your clinician guidance.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. Vitals Vault provides educational insights and biomarker context, not diagnosis or treatment.

Where do I get tested?

Testing is completed through the Quest Diagnostics network (CLIA-certified labs).

How long do results take?

Timing varies by lab. Many results return within days, but it can vary by marker.

Is this a single-marker test?

No. These are comprehensive panels designed to interpret patterns across systems, not one number.

Not for: If you only want a basic cholesterol printout.

For you if: If you want systems-level context and clarity.
