Lipid tests help evaluate how the body processes fats and assess the risk of cardiovascular disease. They include measurements of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Total cholesterol offers a general overview, while HDL represents “good fats” that help remove harmful lipids. LDL represents “bad fats” that may accumulate in arteries. Triglycerides indicate stored energy fats, and VLDL provides insight into fats that contribute to plaque buildup. These tests help evaluate the risk of heart attack, atherosclerosis, and monitor the effects of diet, lifestyle, and medications on lipid levels.
