Cardiac Health Assessment

A comprehensive cardiovascular and preventive health evaluation includes advanced biomarkers and imaging studies that offer deeper insights into inflammation, lipid risk, and cardiac function. Key blood tests include high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) to assess vascular inflammation, Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) to determine atherogenic particle burden, Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] for genetic LDL-related risk, and an NMR Lipoprotein Profile to evaluate particle number and size.

Key Features

cardiac-health-assessment

Cardiac Health Assessment

  • bullet High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) – marker of vascular inflammation.
  • bullet Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) – atherogenic particle number.
  • bullet Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] – genetic LDL variant, one-time measurement.
  • bullet NMR Lipoprotein Profile – particle count & size.
  • bullet NT-proBNP (or BNP) – marker of heart failure/stress.
Imaging-Functional-Assessments

Imaging & Functional Assessments

  • bullet Echocardiogram – structure, ejection fraction, valve disease.
  • bullet Carotid Ultrasound / Doppler – atherosclerosis burden.
  • bullet Coronary CT Calcium Score – coronary artery calcification (40–70 yrs, intermediate risk).
  • bullet Cardiac CT Angiography – for higher-risk groups or persistent symptoms.
  • bullet Exercise Stress Test – treadmill/bike with ECG monitoring.
Advanced-Optional-Add-Ons

Advanced / Optional Add-Ons
