Cardiovascular Health & Inflammation Panel (Bioreference)

What this panel includes

• Lipid profile with ratios: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, and lipid fractionation (particles and size) for cardiovascular risk assessment

• Apolipoprotein B: A marker of total atherogenic particle burden and cardiovascular risk

• Lipoprotein(a): A genetically influenced cardiovascular risk marker that impacts risk irrespective of cholesterol levels

• High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP): A marker of systemic inflammation associated with cardiovascular risk

• Homocysteine: A marker of vascular health and metabolic stress associated with cardiovascular and stroke risk

• Uric acid: A marker linked to metabolic health, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk

Biomarkers tested

Why patients choose this

• One comprehensive draw that looks at lipids, particle risk, and inflammatory markers that influence heart and vascular health.
• A useful baseline for anyone wanting to understand their cardiometabolic risk profile before symptoms arise.
• Relevant for those with a personal or family history of early heart disease or stroke (before age 60), South Asian or East Asian descent, metabolic dysfunction, or chronic inflammation.
• A discounted, bundled panel rather than paying for each test separately.
• Schedule your lab test seamlessly and complete it at a lab near you.

Before your test

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before your draw.

Important information

Why it matters: these markers offer insight into lipid balance, cholesterol particle risk, and inflammatory activity, all of which play a role in long-term cardiovascular outcomes, including stroke.

Who it's for: appropriate for a baseline cardiovascular assessment, or for those with elevated risk from family history, ancestry, metabolic dysfunction, or chronic inflammation.

It is recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before your draw.
