Basic LDL cholesterol and triglycerides blood panels are still an essential part of heart disease bloodwork, too.
I would suggest most people start by asking your doctor for some of these tests at your next annual checkup, as many of them and the doctor visit are likely covered by insurance. The ACA has special handling for routine annual checkups, so don’t assume it’s going to be expensive until you’ve checked the cost with your insurance. A routine bloodwork panel will also include a number of other important measures that are routine and very cheap. It’s helpful to have all of these on your medical record so trends can be identified over time.
