This test measures the proportion of cholesterol in HDL 3b, a specific subclass of HDL (good cholesterol), relative to total HDL. HDL subclasses have different protective properties for cardiovascular health—larger HDL particles tend to be more cardioprotective than smaller ones. This advanced lipid test provides more detailed information about your cholesterol profile than standard HDL testing, potentially offering better insight into cardiovascular risk and the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapies.
