56469-0
LaboratoryCardiac heart disease risk [Ratio] in Serum or Plasma
Definition
The Estimated CHD risk is based on a calculation that utilizes the Total CHOL/HDL ratio. There are two calculations; one for males and one for females. The calculations are as follows: Calculation for males = 1.3137 x (nlog of Total Chol/HDL) - 1.0834 Calculation for females = 2.0762 x (nlog of Total Chol/HDL) - 2.00247
