Text description of this 3D model
A short section of artery shown cut open lengthwise so you can see inside. The wall is red-pink. Small gold spheres (cholesterol-carrying LDL particles) float through the open channel from left to right. Along the lower inner wall are amber lumps that represent plaque building up in the artery wall. In the ApoB view, each gold particle shows a teal ring for its one ApoB protein. In the Lp(a) view, some particles turn pink and gain an extra ring for apo(a).

What Happens Next?
What's included in the advertised price?
Each listed panel price includes the required lab order, standard mobile blood collection, collection supplies, and laboratory testing and processing. The only extra cost is an optional upgrade you choose yourself, such as the $60 Vein Finder. You'll see your final total in Stan Store before you pay.
Does A-List arrange the lab order?
Yes. For these heart panels A-List arranges the required lab order, so you don't need to bring your own.
Where are mobile collections available?
Raleigh and nearby communities, including Cary, Apex, Garner, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Fuquay-Varina and Durham. Not sure if you're covered? Call 919-794-5683 before booking.
How does scheduling work?
You choose an available date and time inside the Stan Store checkout. There's no separate scheduling step. Times are shown in Eastern Time.
What happens after payment?
You'll get preparation instructions, A-List arranges the lab order, and a certified phlebotomy technician comes to your home or office for the draw. Some tests need fasting and some don't, so follow the instructions you're given. Never stop or change a medication on your own.
How are results delivered, and who interprets them?
Your report is emailed to you through the testing partner's results system, usually within 1–3 business days. Some tests take longer. A-List collects samples but doesn't diagnose or interpret results. Please review them with your healthcare provider.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Later cancellations have a $50 fee, and completed services are nonrefundable. See the Heart Panels FAQ for full details.
