Individual tests

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein from your liver. Typically, you have low levels in your blood. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test can detect CRP at lower levels than standard tests. This assesses heart disease and stroke risk in individuals suspected to be at risk of disease.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme which plays an important role in making your body's energy. It is found in almost all the body's tissue, including those in the blood, heart, kidneys, brain, and lungs. When these tissues are damaged, they release LDH into the bloodstream or other body fluids. If your LDH blood or fluid levels are high, it may mean certain tissues in your body have been damaged by disease or injury.
NT-proBNP is produced by the heart. An elevated NT-proBNP suggests that the heart is not pumping enough blood, known as heart failure or congestive heart failure. The test is used to diagnose or rule out heart failure. In patients with heart failure, testing helps assess disease severity, make decisions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.
Prothrombin is a protein from your liver that acts as a clotting (coagulation) factor. If your blood clots too slowly, you may bleed excessively after an injury. If your blood clots too fast, the clots may harm your heart or brain. A prothrombin time (PT) test measures how long it takes for a clot to form.
