Standard Heart Health 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.
