Get to know your heart health with this simple blood test.

Heart health is an essential component to your overall wellbeing. The heart pumps blood full of life-sustaining oxygen and nutrients throughout your body.  
 
This blood test for heart function measures the fatty substances (cholesterol and triglycerides) within the blood along with the inflammation levels commonly used to evaluate heart disease risk. 

Cholesterol is one of the most prominent substances traveling within the blood, making it an excellent gauge of heart health. High cholesterol usually has no symptoms, meaning you may have high cholesterol without knowing it. Knowing your cholesterol numbers is the first step towards a healthy heart and healthy life. 
 
This test also measures (at high sensitivity) the level of C-reactive protein (hs-CRP): a substance made by the liver in response to inflammation, which may indicate the presence of an illness, injury, or infection. Elevated hs-CRP levels are associated with several diseases and conditions including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.  
 
Note: hs-CRP levels can be elevated from recent injury, illnesses or infection. Further testing may be required to determine the source of hs-CRP elevation.

FAQ

  • While you shouldn’t rely on a test alone to detect heart problems, this blood test can provide helpful insights into your overall heart health and level of risk for heart disease. If you have questions or concerns about your heart health, be sure to discuss your results with your healthcare provider.

  • Our Heart Health Test evaluates your overall risk for heart disease. Your results will let you know whether you have high levels of cholesterol (a major risk factor for heart disease) or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a substance made by the liver in response to inflammation. Having high hs-CRP levels may indicate the presence of an illness, injury or infection.

     

    Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider and, especially if they’re outside of the standard range, may be followed by further testing or a medical exam. It is important to talk with your healthcare provider to understand the details of your health test and what the results mean for your health.

  • Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories. Our labs perform regular quality assurance testing to ensure our results are accurate.

  • Your results will be provided to you through our secure online portal to view or print. Results are also provided to PWNHealth, which provides professional healthcare provider services for OnDemand tests. If you are accessing your results through your Labcorp Patient account, all users linked to the account will have access to all OnDemand test results. Results may also be provided to a local, state, or federal health authority, but only when legally required. For example, many states require the testing laboratory and healthcare provider to report test results for certain communicable diseases, such as sexually transmitted diseases or COVID-19, to local or state health departments.
