Cardiovascular Plus provides a detailed assessment of blood markers associated with cardiovascular health and heart disease risk.
It measures:
- Total Cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- LDL Cholesterol
- VLDL Cholesterol
- HDL Cholesterol
- Apolipoprotein B (ApoB)
- Apolipoprotein A (ApoA)
- Lipoprotein (a)
- Small Dense LDL
- Homocysteine
- High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
The report also calculates four important ratios:
- Total Cholesterol to HDL
- Triglycerides to HDL
- LDL to HDL
- ApoB to ApoA1
Together, these results provide information about cholesterol balance, potentially harmful lipoprotein particles, inflammation and inherited lipoprotein-related risk.
Results can support a healthcare professional in assessing cardiovascular risk and recommending appropriate lifestyle changes, further evaluation or treatment. They should be interpreted alongside your medical history, blood pressure and other relevant risk factors.
