A standard cholesterol panel is a great starting point, but it may not tell the whole story about heart health.
During the menopause transition, changes in cholesterol levels, body composition, and metabolism can influence cardiovascular risk.
Looking beyond traditional cholesterol numbers may provide a more complete picture. Markers like Lp(a), ApoB, A1c, and blood pressure can offer valuable insights when considered alongside overall health history.
Understanding these numbers can help guide more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
Save this post as a reminder for your next appointment, and share it with someone interested in learning more about heart health.
Which of these have you heard of before: LDL, Lp(a), ApoB, A1c, or blood pressure?
