Frequently asked questions

What is a good total-to-HDL ratio?

Lower is better. Under about 3.5 is favorable; higher ratios suggest more cardiovascular risk. It's one signal, not a full risk score.

Does this give my ASCVD risk?

No. For a formal 10-year heart-disease risk estimate, ask your clinician about the ASCVD risk calculator, which uses more of your health data.
