Comprehensive Cardiovascular Health Risk Panel

This includes:

• Total Cholesterol
• Triglycerides
• HDL cholesterol (protective) 
• LDL cholesterol (atherogenic) 
• Lipoprotein (a) - High Lp(a) levels are especially dangerous if you have a family history of heart disease.
• Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) - high levels are linked to an increased risk of CVD.
• Apolipoprotein A (Apo A1) - the main protein in HDL (protective)
• apoB/apoA-I ratio - The ratio is a strong predictor of risk for atherosclerotic CVD.
• LFT - liver function to assess its health and detect damage or disease
• hsCRP - inflammatory marker
• Homocysteine - when elevated, can increase CV disease risk
• Fasting glucose - to assess how well your body regulates glucose
• Fasting Insulin - how effectively your insulin sensitivity
• Estimated average glucose - over a 3 month period

• HBA1c - longer term blood glucose management marker

   

   

This provides further information to determine your risk of cardiovascular disease, both from a genetic perspective and the LDL particle size. 

Please note: this testing can take >10 days to analyse and receive your laboratory report.
