[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1664726, member: 94045"] I would definitely ask for another test in 3 months, and push for this if the GP is awkward. I don't know the actual name of the LDL test, but it is done at the same time as a normal cholesterol and lipid panel test, and looks at the actual size of the particles inside the LDL. I have seen other forum members report that have had this test. GPs don't do it routinely because it adds to the cost. I have no idea whether your drugs affect cholesterol, or whether the continuous AF will have some effect. Maybe a bit of Googling, or a Pharmacist could help. [/QUOTE]
