A “Coronary Risk Profile” is one assessment that providers often use to determine a patient’s risk for coronary artery disease. This group of blood tests evaluates the level of several substances, including:

• Lipoprotein a (Lpa)
• S. Homocysteine (S.HCY)
• High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
• Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
• Triglycerides

The combined levels of these substances allow a provider to estimate a patient’s risk of developing coronary artery disease.
