My test results came back but neither my doctor nor I know how to interpret. Working to set up an appt. with the cardiologist he referred me to but wanted to see if anyone had any insight in the meantime. Anything not within range is noted in parentheses. I am 37m and high cholesterol runs in my family. Generally fit eating relatively healthy and exercising 4-5 days a week with weights and cardio. Anybody have experience with this test or insight on the results?
