CHD Risk Assessment with SPIFE Cholesterol
Are you getting a true picture of CHD risk? Angiography was performed on 504 patients, including 271 with >50% stenosis, to see how the results squared up to their Lp(a) data. After adjusting for other risk factors, Helena Lp(a)-c proved a significant predictor of coronary disease. In fact, an undetectable Lp(a)-c was nearly as significant as increased HDL as a negative risk marker. It's important to know your Lp(a)-c, along with traditional HDL and LDL and Helena cholesterol can meet that need.

Helena Cholesterol Profile allows direct measurement of HDL, LDL and VLDL cholesterol along with Lp(a) cholesterol in a single run with excellent correlation to the laboratory reference method and an excellent reimbursement margin.

Simultaneous - Direct HDL, LDL, VLDL and Lp(a)-c in one run
Accurate - provides a "broadcut" LDL like the CDC reference method
Easy - Analyze up to 100 samples in 80 minutes with little hands-on time.
