In-depth Cardiac Screening

For people with a family history of high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes or heart disease in depth cardiac screening can be beneficial. This is a baseline test that provides in-depth insight into the various factors that play a role in determining heart health. This panel includes insulin levels, and inflammatory markers that can impact cardiac risk in addition to a typical cholesterol panel. Cholesterols panels should always be performed after fasting at least 10 hrs. This panel also includes an insulin resistance panel since that can significantly impact cardiovascular risk. This test does not typically need to be performed every year for people with an elevated risk, and additional annual screening labs are often recommended. Labs include: Apo A1; Apo B; Fasting Insulin; HDL; Homocysteine; LDL; Lp(a); TC/HDL Ratio; Total Cholesterol; Triglycerides; hs-CRP; sdLDL In-depth result interpretation occurs during visits for established patients.
