The Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) Test measures levels of Apo A1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol, to assess heart and vascular health. Higher levels are linked to protective “good” cholesterol, while low levels may increase risk of heart disease, stroke, or metabolic disorders. Doctors use this test with lipid panels to evaluate cardiovascular risk, monitor therapy, and guide prevention strategies for cholesterol balance and heart health.
The Lp-PLA2 Activity Test measures lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 enzyme activity, a marker of vascular inflammation linked to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Elevated levels may increase risk for heart attack and stroke. Doctors order this test for patients with high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, or other risk factors. Results provide valuable insight into arterial health, helping guide prevention, treatment, and heart disease management.
The Cardio IQ™ Lp-PLA2 PLAC® Test measures lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2, an enzyme linked to vascular inflammation and plaque instability. Elevated levels are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke. Doctors use this blood test to assess cardiovascular risk beyond standard cholesterol testing, helping guide prevention and treatment strategies to reduce risk of heart attack or stroke.
The Cardio IQ™ hs-CRP Test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the blood to assess inflammation linked to cardiovascular risk. Elevated levels may indicate a higher risk of heart disease or other inflammatory conditions.
The Cardio IQ™ Lipid Panel is a test that assesses a patient's risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by examining total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
The Cardio IQ™ Homocysteine Test measures homocysteine levels in the blood, an amino acid linked to cardiovascular risk. Elevated levels may indicate increased risk for heart disease, stroke, or vitamin deficiencies (B6, B12, folate). This test helps assess cardiovascular health and guide prevention strategies.
The Cardio IQ™ Apolipoprotein A1 Test measures ApoA1, the main protein in HDL cholesterol. Higher ApoA1 levels are generally linked to lower cardiovascular risk. This test helps evaluate heart health, lipid metabolism, and supports assessment of cardiovascular disease risk.
