heycal,

Perhaps an advanced lipid panel would be reasonable? Pretty common name from Quest Labs is "Cardio IQ." These are fasting with far more lipid detail. If have high CAC should be straightforward for your PCP to prescribe. Probably can do directly, as well.

Here's a citation on high HDL - https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/24395-hdl-cholesterol

What would I be trying to ascertin from this advanced testing? Presumably my GP or cardiologist will advise getting if they think it's valuable, or are you suggesting it's something they might overlook and that I need to be proactive about?
