If you're really serious about this you might want to check out his diet recommendations too. His biggest admonition is no wheat, no cornstarch as he says they cause you to create small LDL particles. I think eventually he's probably going to realize that all grains do that, but for now those are his two big no-nos.

Yes, I will go for the small particle LDL test. I have discussed this with my Doctor and he has no issue doing the test. What is important is what the cardiac catscan has shown and learning about the techniques Dr. Davis recommends and reading up on success stories etc in his blog and his forums that he hosts. Not sure of the difference between VAP and NMR but I will learn.
Also, I read up on the no wheat and cornstarch. This is very similar to Dr. Mercola's Total Health approach. Dr. Mercola doesn't want any grains, no processed foods, all natural lean meats, etc.
The trick is going to be implementing this. I believe cutting down on carbs to below 100 has helped and getting it down to the 30-60 really accomplishes a lot.
I am interested in getting my life back in order and enjoying another healthy couple of decades or more.
