“Cardiorisk Extended” Profile (special offer)
The Cardiorisk extended profile includes the following tests:
- Triglycerides
- Total cholesterol
- HDL Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol
- Apolipoprotein A1
- Apolipoprotein B
- Glucose
- C-reactive Protein Cardio (highly sensitive)
- Troponin I
- Lipoprotein (a)
The profile shows the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, as well as the severity of existing pathologies. There are 3 profile options: standard, complete, and extended.
- Triglycerides are fats involved in the development of atherosclerosis.
- Total cholesterol is a structural component of many body cells. Excess cholesterol leads to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Cholesterol can be divided into 2 types: "useful" - HDL and "harmful" - LDL.
- LDL is a type of cholesterol that forms atherosclerotic plaques.
- HDL is a type of cholesterol with anti-atherogenic properties.
- Glucose – excess glucose in the blood may indicate (not always) the presence of diabetes mellitus.
- Apolipoprotein A1 is a substance that is necessary to prevent the development of atherosclerosis.
- Apolipoprotein B is a substance that promotes the accumulation of cholesterol in the body.
- C-reactive protein Cardio – displays the severity of atherosclerosis.
- Troponin I – allows you to determine very low concentrations of cardiac troponin-I in the blood, including in healthy people. Depending on the level of troponin-I in the blood, the cardiovascular risk may be low, medium, and increased.
