The triglycerides test is used to evaluate the risk of developing heart disease. It is usually ordered as part of a lipid profile and measures the amount of triglycerides in your blood.

A triglycerides blood test may be ordered as part of a heart health lipid panel, or it may be recommended if you have heart disease risk factors.

Fasting is required 12 to 14 hours prior to giving your blood sample. Also, a stable diet for two to three weeks prior to testing is recommended for the most accurate results.
