There is a detailed lipid panel (Lipofraction NMR) as along with the HDL/LDL/TriG estimates they get today. There is a lot more detail in there. Statins help reduce LDL but the detailed lipid panel may still show a very high level of LDL-P and Small LDL-P which still increase risk. If you're going for more testing, I would definitely suggest the lipofraction.
