No: Lipid NMR has not been proven to provide useful information for assessing risk for cardiovascular disease.

No: If your ldl, HDL and tg are completely within ideal limits (i.e. Ldl < 100, HDL > 50, tg < 100), there is no need for nmr. Nmr is needed in unusual lipid profile and early family history of coronary disease (in the 40s).

Apparently,YES.: This profile is a special test that uses nuclear magnetic resonance or NMR to observe the amount and type(s) of your LDL particles in your body, along with vldl and hdl. With this, your doctor can make more accurate treatment decisions. You might want this because about 50% of heart attacks occur in those with good readings, and if you have other issues like diabetes, your risk goes up.
