You're right.

I was thinking of Lp(a), ApoB, A1c, cystatin c, GGT, and HS CRP.

I personally like getting those tested at least twice a year in addition to CBC/CMP/hormones/lipids.

I'm honestly surprised more doctors aren't ordering more advanced cardiac panels (specifically LP(a) and ApoB). Even though you can't do much about Lp(a), knowing you're genetically at risk can be a motivator to reduce other risk factors.
