Cardiac Profile III

Advanced Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Beyond Traditional Cholesterol Testing

The Cardiac Profile III is a highly specialized blood test designed to evaluate deep-rooted cardiovascular risk factors related to inflammation, lipoproteins, and blood clotting. It offers a detailed and comprehensive view of your heart health—especially useful when standard cholesterol tests don’t tell the full story.

Who Should Take This Test?

This panel is recommended for individuals who:

Have a personal or family history of heart disease or stroke

Have experienced a previous cardiac event (e.g. heart attack, angina)

Are managing high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or chronic inflammation

Want a more precise and predictive assessment of their cardiovascular risk

Are looking to uncover hidden or overlooked risk factors

What’s Measured?

This in-depth profile includes:

🧬 Apolipoprotein A1 & B (12h Fasting Required):

Key proteins in HDL and LDL cholesterol

Offers a clearer view of “good” vs “bad” cholesterol

More predictive of heart risk than traditional lipid panels

🔥 C-Reactive Protein High-Sensitivity (hsCRP):

Sensitive inflammation marker

Helps detect chronic, low-grade inflammation linked to heart disease

💉 Homocysteine:

Elevated levels are linked to increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood vessel damage

🩺 Lipoprotein (a):

A genetic marker associated with atherosclerosis and heart disease—even with normal cholesterol

🧪 Fibrinogen:

A clotting factor that, when elevated, may increase the risk of thrombosis and cardiovascular events

When Should You Get Tested?

Consider this panel if:

You have multiple heart disease risk factors

Your cholesterol levels are normal, but you still feel at risk

You’re managing a chronic condition (like diabetes or hypertension)

You want to prevent a first or recurrent cardiac event
