"Description of Cardio IQ:
This panel directly measures your standard lipid panel in addition to your lipoprotein subfractions. LDL exists as small, dense molecules and large, buoyant ones and evidence suggests that more small particles greatly increase the risk of heart disease. This test also measures your Apolipoprotein B and Lipoprotein(a).
This is a good test for people who are already on cholesterol lowering medications."

EDIT: Here is the average Radiation dose...not bad, but as Dr Bernstein said...once every ten years would OK.
