Description
The Healthy Heart Basic profile includes the Comprehensive Metabolic Profile, Lipid Profile and C-reactive protein Cardiac. There are 20 body chemistry measurements that will give you a basic evaluation of your Heart Health.
The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a group of 14 tests that gives you doctor information about the current status of your kidneys, liver, and electrolyte and acid/base balance as well as of your blood sugar and blood proteins. The tests measured include Glucose, Calcium, Albumin, Total Protein, Sodium, Potassium, CO2, Chloride, BUN, Creatinine, ALP, ALT, AST, and Bilirubin.
Lipid profile is a group of tests that are often ordered together to determine risk of coronary heart disease. The tests that make up a lipid profile are tests that have been shown to be good indicators of whether someone is likely to have a heart attack or stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels (hardening of the arteries). The measured tests are Cholesterol, total; High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol; Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (calculation); Triglycerides; Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (calculation).
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test is a blood test that measures the amount of a protein called C-reactive protein in your blood. C-reactive protein test measures general levels of inflammation in the body. High levels of CRP are caused by infections and long-term diseases. The test can help in monitoring illnesses such as cancer of the lymph nodes (lymphoma), diseases of the immune system, painful swelling of the blood vessels in the head and neck, rheumatoid arthritis, swelling and bleeding of the intestines (inflammatory bowel) or bone infection.
