Lipoprotein (a) & Essential Heart Tests: Uncover Hidden Heart Risks & Save 20%

The Lipoprotein (a) Test measures Lp(a), a genetic form of LDL cholesterol linked to higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Unlike standard cholesterol tests, Lp(a) levels are inherited and not easily lowered by lifestyle changes. Doctors order this test for patients with a family history of early cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol. Results help identify hidden risk, guide prevention strategies, and support heart and vascular health management.

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 Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) Test measures ApoB, the main protein in LDL and VLDL cholesterol, to assess cardiovascular risk. Elevated ApoB is linked to atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, heart attack, and stroke. Low levels may reflect liver disease or malnutrition. Doctors often order this test with lipid panels or Apo A1 to calculate the ApoB/A1 ratio, providing a more accurate picture of cholesterol balance, cardiovascular health, and risk for heart disease.

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.

The Cardio IQ™ Lipoprotein Fractionation Ion Mobility Test separates and measures lipoprotein particles by size and concentration using ion mobility technology. It provides a detailed profile of LDL, HDL, and other subclasses, offering a clearer assessment of cardiovascular risk than standard cholesterol testing.

The Homocysteine Test measures homocysteine levels in blood to assess risk for heart disease, stroke, and vascular problems. Elevated homocysteine may result from vitamin B6, B12, or folate deficiency and is linked to blood clots, cognitive decline, and osteoporosis. Doctors use this test to evaluate cardiovascular risk, monitor nutritional deficiencies, and guide treatment for metabolic or genetic conditions affecting homocysteine metabolism.

The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Test measures very low levels of CRP in blood to evaluate inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Elevated hs-CRP may indicate increased risk for heart disease, heart attack, or stroke even before symptoms appear. Doctors use this test along with cholesterol and other markers to assess overall heart health, guide prevention strategies, and monitor treatment. It also helps evaluate chronic inflammation and metabolic conditions.

The Lipid Panel with Ratios Test measures seven key markers: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Chol/HDL ratio, and LDL/HDL ratio. This advanced panel evaluates cardiovascular risk by assessing cholesterol balance and fat metabolism. Doctors use it to detect high cholesterol, atherosclerosis risk, and heart disease, and to monitor treatment. Often part of routine exams, it provides insight into long-term heart and metabolic health.

The OmegaCheck® Test measures omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in blood, including EPA, DHA, and arachidonic acid, to assess cardiovascular and overall health. Results provide the Omega-3 Index, which is linked to heart health, inflammation, and brain function. Doctors use this test to evaluate dietary balance, identify deficiency or excess, and guide nutrition or lifestyle changes that support long-term cardiovascular and metabolic wellness.

The N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) Test measures levels of NT-proBNP, a marker released when the heart muscle is under stress. Elevated levels may indicate heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, or other cardiac conditions. Doctors use this blood test to diagnose, monitor severity, and guide treatment of heart disease, while also helping distinguish cardiac from non-cardiac causes of shortness of breath and related symptoms.
