The Heart Health - Basic Panel is a crucial set of tests tailored to evaluate key factors that influence cardiovascular health. This panel is designed to offer a snapshot of an individual's risk for heart disease by assessing lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, and proteins associated with heart health. It serves as an essential tool for early detection of potential heart issues, guiding preventive measures, and monitoring the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or treatments aimed at improving heart health.

The Heart Health - Basic Plus Panel is an enhanced diagnostic tool designed for a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular health risks. This panel integrates crucial markers for heart health, including lipid profiles, proteins associated with cardiovascular diseases, and markers of inflammation and metabolic health. It provides a nuanced picture of an individual's heart health, helping to identify risks earlier and more accurately than basic screenings.

The Heart Health - Advanced Panel is a comprehensive suite of tests aimed at evaluating a wide range of factors that contribute to cardiovascular health. This panel is designed to offer an in-depth look into the biomarkers associated with heart disease risk, including lipid profiles, inflammatory markers, blood glucose levels, and more. It serves as a critical tool for identifying potential heart health issues, guiding interventions to mitigate risk, and monitoring the effectiveness of lifestyle changes or treatments aimed at improving cardiovascular outcomes.

The Heart Health - Comprehensive Panel provides an extensive array of tests designed to thoroughly assess various aspects of heart health. This panel combines markers of cholesterol management, inflammation, clotting factors, blood sugar levels, kidney function, and more to offer a holistic view of an individual's cardiovascular risk profile. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with a high risk of heart disease, those with existing heart conditions, or anyone interested in a detailed analysis of their heart health.

The Apolipoprotein A1 and B Test measures Apo A1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol, and Apo B, the primary protein in LDL and VLDL cholesterol. Together, these markers and the ApoB/A1 ratio provide a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk than standard lipid panels. High ApoB or low Apo A1 may signal heart disease, stroke, or atherosclerosis. Doctors use this test to evaluate cholesterol balance, monitor therapy, and guide prevention of cardiovascular conditions.

Also Known As: Apo A1 and B Test, Apolipoprotein Evaluation Test

The B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Test measures BNP levels in blood to help diagnose and monitor heart failure and other cardiac conditions. High levels suggest the heart is under stress, often from congestive heart failure, hypertension, or heart disease. Doctors order this test for patients with shortness of breath, fatigue, or swelling. Results provide critical insight into heart function, guiding treatment and monitoring response to therapy.

Also Known As: Brain Natriuretic Peptide Test

The Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein Fractionation Ion Mobility Test separates and measures lipoprotein particles by size and concentration using ion mobility technology.
