The markers that actually predict heart risk.
You've had your cholesterol checked before. This time, six advanced biomarkers reveal what standard cholesterol testing misses — ordered from home, reviewed by a lipid specialist.
Processed through Boston Heart Diagnostics · Results reviewed with lipid specialist Nicole Ciffone, NP
A normal cholesterol panel doesn't rule out heart disease.
Beyond LDL
Nearly half of people who have a heart attack have "normal" LDL. Particle number and inflammation tell the rest of the story.
Tested Once, Known for Life
Lp(a) is genetic and largely diet-resistant — one test tells you your lifetime risk, and most people are never screened for it.
A Plan, Not Just a Number
Lab values are easy to misread on your own. We interpret every result and build a plan around what it actually means for you.
The Real Risk Panel
Six advanced biomarkers, drawn from home, processed by Boston Heart Diagnostics. Choose labs on their own, or add a personal results review with Nicole.

Talk it through with Nicole
If you've added the consultation, Nicole helps you interpret your results and builds your care plan.
Numbers on a page don't change your health. A plan does.
Nicole is a nurse practitioner with 20+ years in cardiovascular care, specializing in lipid disorders — including Familial Hypercholesterolemia, Lp(a), severe hypertriglyceridemia, and advanced lipid management, along with weight management and GLP-1 / GLP-1-GIP therapies.
When you add the consultation, Nicole reviews every marker in your Real Risk Panel with you — what it means and what to do next — then builds a comprehensive plan around your diet, lifestyle, and medication, including advanced therapies when appropriate, which she can help you get approved through insurance.
"Most people have never seen their Lp(a) or ApoB. Once they do, the conversation about their heart health changes completely."
