Advanced lipoprotein testing on the lipid panel — going beyond standard lipid panel:

The shift from small dense to large buoyant LDL is particularly important — it represents a fundamental change in the atherogenic profile.

Following on from Dr.CardioMD — and this may be the naive question:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

Closing the loop on my own question.

For the archive: it took about six weeks rather than the two I expected, and the difference between those two numbers was the whole of my problem.
