Comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular issues
Predicts the risk of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke
Protects health against the risk of cardiovascular-related mortality
Supports monitoring and treatment management
Flexible, customizable tests based on individual needs

Cardiovascular disease screening tests are designed to detect early risk factors and signs of cardiovascular disease. The objective of these tests is to identify cardiovascular issues early to implement preventive, management, and timely treatment measures, thereby preventing serious complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke and heart failure.

Triglycerides

One of the metrics for monitoring blood fat levels, thereby assessing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Total Cholesterol

One of the metrics for monitoring total blood cholesterol levels, thereby assessing the risk of arteriosclerosis.

HDL Cholesterol

HDL-cholesterol quantifies the concentration of beneficial fats in the body, with higher levels reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis.

LDL Cholesterol

Quantifies the concentration of harmful fats in the body, with higher levels being directly proportional to the risk of arteriosclerosis.

Cholesterol/HDL Ratio

Assesses cardiovascular risk by comparing total cholesterol to good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood.

Apolipoprotein B

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB for short) is a protein molecule that helps transport fat and cholesterol throughout the body. Normally, the body needs fat and cholesterol to produce some hormones and ensure normal cell function.

Apolipoprotein A1

Helps diagnose ApoA deficiency cases and assess the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A1 Ratio

An index that reflects the balance between atherogenic lipoprotein particles and anti-atherogenic lipoprotein particles. When this balance is disrupted, atherosclerosis progresses and leads to cerebral infarction. In addition, the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio is also a strong risk predictor for other cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, angina, and heart failure.

High-sensitive C-Reactive Protein (hs CRP)

A low CRP level in the blood is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases.

hs Troponin I

When the heart muscle is damaged, troponin is released into the blood. Increased troponin levels in the blood suggest that myocardial damage is occurring or has occurred. Myocardial infarction is a condition in which the heart muscle "dies" due to blockage of blood flow to the heart, which can cause death.

Homocysteine

This indicator helps detect deficiencies in Folate or vitamin B12, which indirectly cause cardiovascular diseases.

Non HDL Cholesterol

Non-HDL cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) is a blood test used to assess the level of bad cholesterol in the body. Non-HDL cholesterol includes all types of cholesterol that can cause atherosclerosis, except for HDL-C (good cholesterol). This is an important indicator for evaluating the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What should be prepared before a heart test?

Customers need to fast for at least 12 hours before sample collection and avoid consuming any alcohol for 24 hours before sample collection.

2. Does the Heart Panels at Diag include X-ray, CT scan or ECG?

No. Diag’s Heart Panels only include blood tests.

3. Why should I choose the Heart Advanced Panel with Homocystine?

Homocystine test is often used to check the risk of developing heart problems. If the homocysteine level is high, it could mean there's a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. It might be recommended for people with a family history of heart disease or those with a shortage of certain vitamins that help control homocysteine levels. Overall, this test helps doctors understand heart health better and can guide in making any necessary lifestyle or dietary changes.

4. Is heart testing included in the Diag Wellness Checkup Panels?

Yes. Customers will receive cardiovascular testing when registering for the Diag Wellness Checkup Panels.

5. Is regular cardiovascular disease screening necessary?

Yes. This is an important group of tests that everyone should undergo. Health experts recommend having heart tests regularly every 6 months.

6. What are the early signs of cardiovascular disease?

Early signs include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, and swelling in the legs or feet.

7. How does diabetes affect cardiovascular health?

Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke due to high blood sugar levels causing damage to blood vessels.

8. How do high cholesterol levels affect heart health?

High cholesterol levels can lead to the buildup of plaques in arteries, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke.

9. How long does it take to get heart test results at Diag?

If Diag's lab receives the sample before 9:30 PM (Mon - Sat) or before 8:30 PM (Sun), test results will be available after 2 hours 30 minutes on the same day.
