Your heart is an essential organ responsible for pumping blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout your body. Factors such as high cholesterol levels can block the blood flow to the heart causing cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. This package will measure your cholesterol (HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) and C-reactive protein levels to evaluate your risk for heart disease.

Who should get tested?

  • This test can be used to help evaluate your risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke, or heart attack. This package includes both a cholesterol panel and a C-reactive protein high sensitivity test. Excess cholesterol can cause plaque to build up on the walls of your blood vessels, this build up causes the blood vessels to narrow which can lead to heart disease, stroke or a heart attack. Research has found that high levels of hs-CRP increase your risk of having a heart attack or developing coronary artery disease, hs-CRP may also be ordered to check for inflammation in the body.¹
