Individual tests

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol is seen as “good” cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High HDL cholesterol levels mean you have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that your body uses to make proteins. Normally, vitamin B12, B6, and folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) quickly break down homocysteine and change it into other substances your body needs. High levels of homocysteine in your blood may indicate that this process isn't working properly or that you lack certain B vitamins. This test can suggest vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid deficiency, or assess risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
Troponin-I is a protein found in your heart muscles. When these muscles become damaged, troponin is released into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack. Quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
Troponin-T is a protein found in your heart muscles. When the muscles become damaged, troponin is sent into the bloodstream. High levels of troponin in the blood may mean you are having or recently had a heart attack which happens when blood flow to the heart gets blocked. This blockage can be deadly. However, quick diagnosis and treatment can save your life.
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.
Iron homeostasis diseases are common and may be attributed to either iron deficiency or overload. Iron deficiency can result from increased loss or inadequate absorption of iron. Iron overload occurs when there is an excess in the binding capacity of transferrin. Iron overload may also occur during the catabolism of red cells. Iron levels are used to help diagnose specific types of anemia.
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.
LDL stands for low-density lipoproteins. It is sometimes called "bad" cholesterol because high levels cause a buildup in your arteries. Over time, the plaque hardens, narrowing your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood, which is why a high level of LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for vascular and heart diseases.
Your body has four main lipids: cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. HDL is good cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver, while the rest are bad cholesterol. These tests help better understand your risk for heart disease, stroke, and other problems from narrowed or blocked arteries.
Your body has four types of lipids: cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. HDL is good cholesterol because it helps absorb cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver, while the other types are considered bad cholesterol. These tests help you and your healthcare provider better understand your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other problems caused by narrowed or blocked arteries.
Lipoprotein is a lipid and protein component found in the blood. It helps to transport the cholesterol through the blood to the cells. It is of two types high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the low density lipoprotein (LDL). Lipoprotein (a) is a type of LDL that carries the cholesterol to the cells in the arteries. High levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases.

Magnesium is a charged electrolyte mineral. It is responsible for many important bodily functions and processes, including ensuring your muscles, nerves, and heart work properly and controlling blood pressure and blood sugar.
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.
Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body. It is primarily found in bones and teeth, playing a crucial role in their formation. A phosphorus deficiency may cause bone diseases, while an improper balance of phosphorus and calcium can lead to osteoporosis.
Potassium is an electrolyte that regulates your heartbeat and helps your muscles contract and nerves function. Too much potassium in your blood can damage your heart and lead to a heart attack. However, if the potassium in your blood is low, it can cause life-threatening complications, such as an irregular heartbeat or acute respiratory failure from muscle paralysis.
