OK, so what does predict heart disease then? I mean lets face it the risk factors are now somewhat outdated and inaccurate. So what can we do? Well, if you need to know, the NMR lipoprofile is possibly the most powerful test for evaluating heart disease risk, this test determines your proportion of smaller, more damaging LDL particles, not just your overall cholesterol which is inconclusive. Small LDL particles get stuck easily, cause more inflammation, and are tied to insulin and leptin resistance. This test is not typically ordered, so you might need to request it from your physician or order it yourself through a third-party.
