Cardio IQ® HDL Cholesterol - This test measures the levels of HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as 'good' cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is known for its protective role against heart disease. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle factors such as regular exercise, moderate alcohol consumption, and oral estrogen therapy can increase HDL levels. Conversely, obesity, stress, smoking, and diabetes mellitus are linked to lower HDL levels.
