Clinical Significance
A VLDL cholesterol test helps assess the risk of heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular conditions. Estimating VLDL cholesterol in the blood as part of a triglycerides test or lipid panel can help doctors with diagnosing, screening, and monitoring heart and vascular health issues.
