The Extended Wellness Panel plus VAP: This Panel goes one step further than the Extended Wellness Panel by assessing your lipid profile, particularly cholesterol, in much greater detail. We now know that cholesterol assessment using LDL and HDL is antiquated and inaccurate for many patients. Many people on cholesterol lowering statin drugs may not need them and their undesired side effects.
The VAP panel offers the state of the art assessment in this area. It can tell someone whether a total cholesterol of 240 is of the healthy variety and nothing to worry about or if there are unhealthy components representing a significant risk for cardiovascular disease.
