Cardiac Panel Profile II LIS Code: CP II
What's included in this profile
- An enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles
- Raised levels can suggest liver or muscle damage
- Used alongside ALT to help pinpoint the cause of liver stress
- Total cholesterol divided by HDL cholesterol
- A widely used singlefigure measure of cardiovascular risk
- Lower ratios are generally more favourable
- An enzyme released from muscle, heart or brain tissue when damaged
- Raised levels can indicate muscle strain, injury or heart issues
- Often checked after unusual muscle pain or intense exercise
- A waste product from normal muscle breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function
- Used to calculate eGFR (estimated kidney filtration rate)
- Measures red cells, white cells and platelets
- A foundational test for overall health, anaemia and infection
- The 'Differential' breaks white cells down by specific type
- The main sugar circulating in the blood, used for energy
- Raised fasting levels can indicate prediabetes or diabetes
- A cornerstone test for metabolic health
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 23 months
- The main test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes
- Not affected by what you ate that day, unlike glucose
- A more sensitive version of the standard CRP test
- Used to detect lowgrade inflammation linked to heart disease risk
- Interpreted differently to standard CRP
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- An enzyme found in many tissues including liver, heart and muscle
- Raised levels can indicate tissue damage from various causes
- A general marker, usually interpreted alongside more specific tests
- A mineral involved in muscle, nerve and heart function
- Low levels can cause cramps, fatigue or irregular heartbeat
- Often checked alongside other electrolytes
- Total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol
- Captures all the 'harmful' cholesterol particles in one figure
- Increasingly used alongside LDL for cardiovascular risk assessment
- A key electrolyte important for heart and muscle function
- Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and need prompt attention
- Closely linked to kidney function
- A key electrolyte that regulates fluid balance
- Abnormal levels can reflect kidney, hormonal or hydration issues
- Commonly checked as part of a routine metabolic panel
- The pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid to produce T3/T4
- The primary firstline test for thyroid function
- Raised or low levels suggest an underactive or overactive thyroid
- The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood
- A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- Interpreted alongside HDL, LDL and triglycerides
- A type of fat found in the blood, from food and the liver
- Raised levels are linked to heart disease and metabolic conditions
- Affected by diet, alcohol and blood sugar control
- A waste product from protein breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function or dehydration
- Interpreted alongside creatinine for a fuller picture
- A waste product from the breakdown of purines in food and cells
- Raised levels are linked to gout and kidney stones
- Also checked as part of general metabolic screening
- An estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering blood
- Calculated from creatinine, age and sex
- The key measure used to stage kidney function

Cardiac Profile II
Advanced Heart Health Assessment with Metabolic, Inflammatory & Thyroid Insights
The Cardiac Profile II offers a comprehensive, multi-system evaluation of your cardiovascular health. Going beyond traditional heart tests, this panel assesses a broad range of factors including blood composition, inflammation, blood sugar control, thyroid function, and kidney and electrolyte balance — providing a holistic view of your heart and metabolic health.
Who Is This Test For?
This panel is ideal for individuals who:
Have a personal or family history of heart disease
Are managing complex health conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or metabolic syndrome
Have been diagnosed with high cholesterol or hypertension
Are recovering from a cardiac event and need comprehensive follow-up
Want a proactive, full-spectrum heart health assessment
What’s Included in the Test?
This advanced panel includes:
🫀 Cardiac & Lipid Markers
Cholesterol Panel (Total, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)
Cardiac Enzymes to detect heart stress or damage
🩸 Full Blood Count (FBC) + Differential
Assesses red and white blood cells and platelets
Detects anemia, infection, or blood disorders
🔥 C-Reactive Protein High Sensitivity (hsCRP)
Sensitive marker of inflammation, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease
🧪 Glucose & HbA1c
Measures both current blood sugar and long-term glucose control
Essential for diabetes risk assessment
🌀 Thyroid Function
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) to evaluate thyroid imbalances that may affect heart rate, metabolism, and cholesterol levels
⚡ Electrolytes & Kidney Function
Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Urea, Creatinine
Ensures proper muscle, kidney, and heart function
When to Get Tested
This test is recommended if you:
Have multiple risk factors for heart disease or stroke
Are managing chronic conditions like diabetes or thyroid disease
Want to understand how different body systems affect heart health
Need monitoring after a cardiac event or treatment
