Heart Health Panel

Evaluates top risk factors for heart disease and stroke, including cholesterol particles, inflammation, and blood sugar.

About

The Heart Health Panel checks for the most important risk factors that drive heart disease and stroke. It goes beyond standard cholesterol tests by measuring advanced lipoproteins like ApoB and Lipoprotein(a), inflammation (hs-CRP), blood sugar control (A1c), and liver health (ALT). These 10 biomarkers provide a more complete picture of how your heart, blood vessels, and metabolism are functioning.

This panel is ideal if you want to understand your true risk for heart disease, especially if you have a family history, past borderline results, or just want to be proactive. It can help catch hidden issues like insulin resistance or elevated inflammation before they show up on basic tests, and guide targeted prevention strategies that go beyond just lowering LDL.

10 Biomarkers Included

High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
A protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation and linked to increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
Total Cholesterol
A lipid crucial for proper functioning of cells and carried throughout your body in particles called lipoproteins.
Triglycerides
A type of fat found in the blood—high levels are linked to increased risk of heart disease, insulin resistance, and pancreatitis.
LDL Cholesterol
A form of cholesterol that can accumulate in artery walls; elevated levels a risk factor for heart disease.
HDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of lipoprotein called HDL, which plays many roles, including the removal of cholesterol from your artery walls.
VLDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of atherogenic lipoprotein called VLDL. Too much can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries and heart disease.
Apolipoprotein B
A protein on cholesterol-carrying particles that drive plaque buildup in the arteries, and considered a top risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
Lipoprotein(a)
A genetically determined cholesterol-carrying particle; elevated levels increase the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease.
Hemoglobin A1c
The percentage of hemoglobin with glucose attached; higher levels reflect poor blood sugar control and increased risk for diabetes.
Alanine Aminotransferase
An enzyme released from liver cells that reveals early signs of liver stress, inflammation, or damage.
