Atherotech Diagnostics Lab will attend the South CentralObstetrical & Gynecological Society (SCOGS) 52nd Annual Meetingheld this week in Charlottesville, Va. Atherotech representativeswill demonstrate the company's patented VAP® (Vertical AutoProfile) Test and offer blood draws to qualified attendees. Developed by Atherotech, the VAP Cholesterol Test plays a centralrole in women's health issues such as PCOS, infertility , post- and peri-menopause and cardiovascular risk. Within the lastyear, the number of obstetricians and gynecologists ordering theVAP Test has grown rapidly, and the number of women who havereceived VAP Tests from this physician-market has tripled. Unlike the standard cholesterol test, the advanced panel measures a range of cholesterolsubclasses and can be administered without fasting. The VAP Test iswidely covered by insurance, and results have shown a correlationbetween patients who have PCOS and low levels of HDL2, a highlyprotective subclass of high density lipoprotein (HDL). It alsoidentifies markers of metabolic syndrome, often associated withearly diabetes . "The VAP Test is a more accurate lipid profile and allows OB/GYNphysicians to initiate treatment or refer patients for specializedcare," said Steven Foley, M.D., a Colorado Springs, Colo.,gynecologist who specializes in the identification and treatment ofpatients suffering from PCOS. The VAP Test is the only expanded lipid test that routinely reportsdirectly measured LDLc, which is included in the 22 reportedcholesterol components - all at no additional cost. Thesecomponents include Lp(a), apoB, apoA1, and the apoB/apoA1 ratio,making the VAP Test the only lipid profile that routinely reportsall three lipid parameters - LDL, non-HDL and apoB - considerednecessary by the ACC and the American Diabetes Association. Thecomprehensive lipid profile also identifies markers of metabolicsyndrome, often associated with early diabetes. Atherotech provides clinicians with a single source for the VAPCholesterol Test and more than a dozen cardiovascular and metabolictests, including C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP), LpPLA2, apoE genotype,NT-proBNP, cystatin C, T3 and T4 when TSH is abnormal, plusgamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), a recognized cardiovascular riskbiomarker.
