Cholesterol Test Limitations Highlighted

Standard cholesterol tests may not fully capture an individual's risk for cardiovascular disease. A more precise method exists for assessing health risks related to cholesterol, yet its widespread adoption by medical professionals remains limited. This discrepancy raises questions about current diagnostic practices and the potential for improved patient outcomes through the utilization of more advanced or comprehensive testing protocols. Exploring the reasons behind this gap could lead to better preventative healthcare strategies and a more nuanced understanding of heart health.
