About this test
***PLEASE NOTE: ApoA, ApoE and small LDL REAGENTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK DUE TO SHORTAGE***
The Heart Health Blood Test is a comprehensive assessment of key blood markers associated with cardiovascular health. This test evaluates cholesterol levels, lipid particles, apolipoproteins, and inflammation markers to provide a detailed picture of your heart health and cardiovascular risk. By identifying potential concerns early, you can take proactive steps to protect your heart and improve overall well-being.
Why is it Important to Test?
- Early Detection: Identifies risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high cholesterol, inflammation, and genetic lipid abnormalities.
- Comprehensive Insight: Measures a broad range of cholesterol particles, apolipoproteins, and inflammatory markers, which standard cholesterol tests may miss.
- Personalized Prevention: Helps guide lifestyle changes, medications, and other treatments to reduce your risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions.
This test includes an extensive panel of heart-related markers:
- Total Cholesterol: Measures overall cholesterol levels.
- LDL Cholesterol: "Bad" cholesterol contributing to artery blockage.
- HDL Cholesterol: "Good" cholesterol helping remove excess cholesterol.
- Total Cholesterol / HDL Ratio: Assesses heart disease risk.
- Triglycerides: Fats in the blood that can increase cardiovascular risk.
- Apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I): Primary protein in HDL cholesterol.
- Apolipoprotein B (Apo B): Indicates the amount of "bad" cholesterol particles.
- Apolipoprotein B / A-I Ratio: Evaluates the balance of "good" vs. "bad" cholesterol.
- Apolipoprotein C-II (Apo CII): Regulates triglyceride metabolism.
- Apolipoprotein C-III (Apo CIII): Elevated levels are linked to high triglycerides and heart disease.
- Apolipoprotein E (Apo E): Affects cholesterol transport and metabolism.
- Small LDL Cholesterol: Smaller LDL particles increase cardiovascular risk.
- Lipoprotein(a) / Lp(a): A genetic risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
- High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP): A marker of inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease.
Turnaround Time: Most results available in 1-2 working days.
PLEASE NOTE: You are required to fast for at least 10 hours before your cholesterol test. You may still consume water. In fact, it's better for blood draws!
