TC = Total Cholesterol

LDLc = Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol

HDLc = High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol

TG = Triglycerides

TC/HDL = Total Cholesterol to HDL ratio

Total LDL = LDL4+3+2+1+Lp(a)+IDL (a direct-measurement with the VAP Test)

LDL3+4 Dense = LDL subclasses 3 and 4 (small, dense particles)

LDL1+2 Buoyant = LDL subclasses 1 and 2 (large, buoyant particles)

LP(a) = Lipoprotein (a)

IDL = Intermediate Density Lipoprotein

HDL2 = HDL subclass 2

HDL3 = HDL subclass 3

Total VLDL = Total Very Low Density Lipoprotein

VLDL1+2 = VLDL subclasses 1 and 2

VLDL3 Remnant = VLDL subclass 3, or Remnant VLDL

ApoB = Apolipoprotein B

ApoA1 = Apolipoprotein A-1

Hs-CRP = High-sensitivity C-reactive protein

GGT = Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase

ASL, ALT = Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alanine Aminotransferase

CK = Creatine phosphoKinase; also know as CPK

A1c = Hemoglobin A1c

LP-PLA2 = Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, The PLAC Test

NTproBNP = N-terminal prohormone BNP
