Cardiovascular Health
Our standalone cardiovascular panel to aid identification of underlying cardiovascular risk score with extended lipid profiling, high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) and Troponin-T analysis.
BIOMARKER PANELS
Apolipoprotein A-I, Apolipoprotein B, Apolipoprotein B / A-I Ratio, Apolipoprotein CII, Apolipoprotein CIII, Apolipoprotein E, Lipoprotein (a), Small LDL Cholesterol, Cardiovascular Risk Score, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), Troponin-T
| Biomarker | Biomarker Definition: |
|---|---|
| Apolipoprotein A-I | Apolipoprotein A is a protein carried in HDL (“good”) cholesterol. Monitoring Apolipoprotein A-I can help evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. |
| Apolipoprotein B | Apolipoprotein B is a protein that helps carry fat and cholesterol through your body. Monitoring Apolipoprotein B can help evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. |
| Apolipoprotein B / A-I Ratio | Apolipoprotein B / A-I ratio evaluates your ApoB:A-I. An increased ratio of apo B to apo A-I may indicate a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. |
| Apolipoprotein CII | ApoCII measurements can help determine the type or cause of high blood fats. |
| Apolipoprotein CIII | ApoCIII plays an important role in lipid metabolism. Monitoring ApoCIII can help monitor hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease risk. |
| Apolipoprotein E | Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the breakdown of fats. ApoE test can help identify the role of genetic factors in cardiovascular disease. |
| Lipoprotein (a) | Lipoprotein (a) helps carry cholesterol through your bloodstream to your cells. Monitoring Lipoprotein(a) can help evaluate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. |
| Small LDL Cholesterol | Small dense LDL is the most atherogenic form of LDL, which means that it is more likely to leave fatty deposits in the blood. Monitoring small LDL can be used to evaluate cardiovascular disease risk. |
| Cardiovascular Risk Score | Cardiovascular risk score assesses your risk of developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years. |
| High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) | The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is a blood test that finds lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Hs-CRP tests can help identify more cardiovascular issues and chronic inflammation over the long term. |
| Troponin T | Troponins are proteins in muscle fibres that help to regulate muscle contraction. There are two heart muscle troponins, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI). When there is damage to heart muscle, cTnI and cTnT are released into the blood. |
