Cardiovascular Risk Beyond Standard Cholesterol
TL;DR
ApoB, Lp(a), and inflammation markers for proactive heart health in longevity membership.
LDL is incomplete
Standard lipid panels miss particle number and genetic risk. ApoB approximates atherogenic particle burden. Lp(a) is largely genetic and under-tested.
Longevity-minded adults often request expanded panels before symptoms appear.
Prevention framing
Physicians combine markers with blood pressure, glucose, family history, and imaging when indicated. Treatment thresholds follow guidelines individualized to risk.
Eterna IQ does not promise heart disease prevention outcomes.
Measure then intervene
Quarterly or annual re-testing shows whether lifestyle and therapies move the needle.
