Some Simple but Interesting - Facts about the Heart

Investigation the rate of deposition of cholesterol in the lining of the blood vessels or the breakdown of the deposits (reversal of blockages) can be predicted. The normal values of these tests are given in the table below, but I would always recommend people not to keep their value at the upper end of the range but to keep them at the lower end. For example, if the range of Cholesterol is between 130 to 200 mg/dl - it is good to have a value which is near to 130 mg/dl. This becomes more important for those who already have blockages in the heart arteries or those who have other risk factors which they cannot control, due to circumstances.

Normal Range
Cholestrol 130 to 200 mg/dl
Triglycerides 60  to 160 mg/dl
HDL (good) Cholesterol 30 to 60 mg/dl
LDL (bad) Cholesterol 50 to 120 mg/dl
VLDL Cholesterol  12 to 35 mg/dl

Unfortunately enough, I have been seeing numerous heart patients being prescribed all sorts of blood tests in the cardiology hospitals other than this most important blood test. Even angiographies and bypass surgeries are being done on these patients without even looking at the lipid profile. 

It is a routine procedure to collect so many blood samples in the hospitals from heart patients and do tests like Australia Antigen, AIDS Sero Tests, Urea, Creatinine, Total and Differential blood Counts, Urine Tests, .... and so on. Most of these tests are done in order to prepare the patients for procedures called Bypass surgery or Angioplasty.
I have seen lipid profile reports still missing.
Lipid Profile Report

Since the heart disease is caused by fats, which is existing in different forms in the blood stream — heart patients are recommended to get a Lipid Profile Test. This is a blood test where the parameters usually tested are — Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL Cholesterol (good Cholesterol), LDL Cholest erol and VLDL Cholesterol. Blood has to be collected after 12 hours of fasting in this test.
