Boston Heart Diagnostics Launches LipoMap™: One of the Most Comprehensive Assessments of Lipid Metabolism Available

2022-10-03

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Heart Diagnostics is pleased to announce the availability of LipoMap™. This panel of 33 lipid, lipoprotein, and apolipoprotein tests is performed via high-resolution 600 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and is one of the most comprehensive assessments of lipid metabolism commercially available. Under-treated lipid abnormalities contribute to ongoing artery damage, a very common cause of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) and sudden death. LipoMap™ supports healthcare providers to reduce risk and improve outcomes for patients by identifying hidden anomalies. Despite continued efforts, CVD remains the leading cause of death within the United States and throughout the world. This innovative tool from Boston Heart supports clinicians' ongoing mission to reduce this disease.

LipoMap™ uncovers a wide variety of treatable and reversible lipid abnormalities that cause CVD, both in patients treated with statin medications and in those who have normal levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Unmasking these characteristics allows for greater personalization of treatment, such as improved medication regimens and targeted lifestyle intervention. Follow-up LipoMap™ testing empowers doctors and patients to measure improvements resulting from enhanced treatments.
