Heart Health InsideTracker refresher test
Want to monitor your cardiovascular health and understand your risk of heart disease? By monitoring and improving these biomarkers, you lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.
This comprehensive heart health blood test analyzes key biomarkers that affect cholesterol, inflammation and thyroid function so you can take preventive action and improve your cardiovascular health.
What is being tested?
- Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) - A reliable marker of cardiovascular disease risk; elevated values indicate higher risk of arteriosclerosis.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) - Regulates thyroid function, which indirectly affects your heart health by influencing metabolism and cholesterol levels.
- HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) - The "good" cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from blood vessels.
- LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) - The "bad" cholesterol that, at high levels, can contribute to arteriosclerosis and heart problems.
- Triglycerides - Fatty substances in the blood; elevated levels may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Total cholesterol - Gives an overall picture of your cholesterol balance and cardiovascular health.
- hsCRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) - Measures low-grade inflammation in the body, an important predictor of cardiovascular disease.
