LaboratoryEicosapentaenoate (C20:5w3)+Docosapentaenate (C22:5w3)+Docosahexaenoate (C22:6w3)/Fatty acids.C14-C22 risk [Interpretation] in Blood Qualitative
Definition
Risk of sudden death due to cardiovascular disease based on the % of EPA+DPA+DHA out of total fatty acids C14-C22. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's OmegaCheck test performed at the Cleveland Heart Lab. Note that a similar LOINC exists for the risk of cardiovascular disease based on % of EPA+DHA out of total fatty acids C14-C24 [LOINC: 88999-8].
