UNDERSTANDING IMMUNE-SYSTEM TESTS: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE RISK FACTOR
The Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factor (CADRF) is determined by dividing total cholesterol by HDL. For example, if your total cholesterol is 150 and your HDL is 50, your CADRF is 3:
CARDF = 150 = 3
50
The higher the CADRF, the greater your chance of suffering a heart attack. For men, a CADRF of:
3.43 = one half the average risk of coronary artery disease.
4.97 = the average risk of coronary artery disease.
9.55 = two times the average risk of coronary artery disease.
23.39 = three times the average risk of coronary artery disease.
For women, a CADRF of:
3.27 = one half the average risk of coronary artery disease. 4.44 = the average risk of coronary artery disease. 7.05 = two times the average risk of coronary artery disease. 11.04 = three times the average risk of coronary artery disease.
But remember: average is awful! You don’t want to have the average risk of suffering from coronary-artery disease. You want your changes to be much better than that.
For men, the CARDF should be 3.5 or less. For women, 3.0 or less is good. The higher the CARDF, the greater your chance of having a heart attack.
